William O. Douglas: The status quo for most people in the world is insufferable

The status quo for most people in the world is insufferable. If we are going to serve the role of those who put down revolution and maintain the status quo, then we are destined to spend our fortunes and waste our lives in one of the ugliest commitments of history.

        --William O. Douglas (1898-1980), U.S. Supreme Court justice, in 1967
