“1941, historian Lawrence Wroth wrote eloquently of the “harassed individual with ink-stained fingers, half craftsman, half man of letters, who in dim and cluttered shops in all the considerable towns of the continent was fighting the battles of the Nation long before most of his fellow citizens realized that a war was in progress or that a Nation was being born.”

The problem is that those who insist on their innocence believe anything they do is just. At least we who believe in our own guilt know what dark things we can do.”
― Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer
