Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I ran across this quote that I liked, and thought I would share it. It seems apropos to this network. I believe in aristocracy, though--if that is the right word, and if a democrat can use it. Not an aristocracy of power, based upon rank and influence, but an aristocracy of the sensitive, the considerate and the plucky. Its members are to be found in all nations and classes, and all through the ages, and there is a secret understanding between them when they meet. They represent the true human tradition, the one permanent victory of our queer race over cruelty and chaos. Thousands of them perish in obscurity, a few are great names. They are sensitive for others as well as for themselves, they are considerate without being fussy, their pluck is not swankiness but the power to endure, and they can take a joke. from Two Cheers for Democracy, by E. M. Forester Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile. Try it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
