Quote by Hankiss Elemér
English (Source)
It is not good that people are forced every day to stand up for their convictions with heroic courage, whatever the consequences; or, not feeling the strength for this heroism, ashamed of themselves, tucking their ears and tails in, and with a bad conscience, slyly, side-talking, muttering, and looking confused, continue the dialogue with each other and the world. It is not good if there are so many barriers between the command of conscience and the spoken word that you can only break through them with a heroic effort. It is not good if heroism is required for what should be a natural human gesture, an everyday social practice.
