• I saw battle-corpses, myriads of them,
  And the white skeletons of young men-I saw them;
  I saw the debris and debris of all the dead soldiers of the war;
  But I saw they were not as was thought;
  They themselves were fully at rest-they suffer'd not;
  The living remain'd and suffer'd-the mother suffer'd,
  And the wife and the child, and the musing comrade suffer'd,
  And the armies that remain'd suffer'd.

• Hoy en día, ya se trate de un estudiante que organiza una sentada para echar a los reclutadores del ejército de su campus, o de la madre de un soldado muerto que se niega a abandonar la puerta principal del rancho del presidente, nos siguen salvando personas valientes que se arriesgan al ridículo y al rechazo, pero acaban cambiando enormes mareas de la opinión pública en dirección a la rectitud. Tenemos con ellos enormes deudas de gratitud. No es fácil defender lo que es justo, sobre todo cuando todos los demás temen abandonar el cómodo camino de la conformidad.

  Michael Moore

  Madre, Gratitud, Ejército
