More truly characteristic of dissent is a dignity, an elevation, of mood and thought and phrase. Deep conviction and warm feeling are saying their last say with knowledge that the cause is lost. The voice of the majority may be that of force triumphant, content with the plaudits of the hour, and recking little of the morrow. The dissenter speaks to the future, and his voice is pitched to a key that will carry through the years.
Benjamin Cardozo

I've always felt people are looking down on us and expecting us to fail. That's enough of a burden, and we automatically try to act with dignity.
Nicky Jam
