As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be aware of change in the air however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.

  • -- William O. Douglas 威廉·道格拉斯

黑夜不会一下子降临,压迫也不会一下子降临。在这两种情况下,当一切似乎都保持不变时,就会有一个黄昏。正是在这样的暮色中,我们所有人都必须意识到空气中的变化,无论多么轻微,以免我们不知不觉地成为黑暗的牺牲品。
