"The craving to change the world is perhaps a reflection of the craving to change ourselves. The untenability of a situation does not by itself always give rise to a desire for change. Our quarrel with the world is an echo of the endless quarrel proceeding within us. The revolutionary agitator must first start a war in every soul before he can find recruits for his war with the world."
--Eric Hoffer, The Passionate State of Mind, 1954
