"<p>Only your conscience can be your judge, executioner, or protector, no one else! If you write, you are accountable only to conscience, no one else. It doesn't matter what they expect of you, it doesn't matter what they punish you with, if you don't give them what they hope to hear or what they want to hear! Prison and disgrace, pillory and persecution, false accusation and swallowing humiliation, poverty, and misery, all these do not concern you. Only your conscience can punish you, only this secret voice can say, "You have sinned." Or: "All right." The rest is fog, smoke, nothing.</p>"
