Quotes from Emerson and Thoreau

"Of course, there is nothing new about this kind of civil disobedience . . . It was practiced superbly by the early Christians, who were willing to face hungry lions and the excruciating pain of the chopping blocks rather than to submit to certain unjust laws of the Roman Empire."
                                           -- Martin Luther King
