QUOTE OF THE WEEK
One should as a rule respect public opinion in so far as is necessary to
avoid starvation and to keep out of prison, but anything that goes
beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny, and is
likely to interfere with happiness in all kinds of ways.
-Bertrand Russell
