    We saw the risk we took in doing good,
    But dared not spare to do the best we could
    Though harm should come of it

    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    [In response to this question from an interviewer: “U. S. News and World Report described you this way: ‘She’s intolerant, preachy, judgmental and overbearing. She’s bright, articulate, passionate and kind.’ Is that an accurate description?”:]
