    If you’re going to burn, burn.
    If you’re going to boil, boil
    and if you’re breaking, O Heart,
    go ahead and break,
    for I’ve just left him,
    that no-good man.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    To revolt is a natural tendency of life. Even a worm turns against the foot that crushes it. In general, the vitality and relative dignity of an animal can be measured by the intensity of its instinct to revolt.
    Mikhail Bakunin (1814–1876)
