“ Every society honours its live conformists and its dead troublemakers. ”

Yet it sometimes happens that they also have a kind of tang, a pleasantness beneath the unpleasantness, based on the tacit understanding that this is not for keeps; that any limb you climb out on will still be there later for you to climb back.
Courage can't see around corners, but goes around them anyway.
