The only kinds of fights worth fighting are those you are going to

lose, because somebody has to fight them and lose and lose and lose

until someday, somebody who believes as you do wins. In order for

somebody to win an important, major fight 100 years hence, a lot of

other people have got to be willing - for the sheer fun and joy of

it - to go right ahead and fight, knowing you're going to lose. You

mustn't feel like a martyr. You've got to enjoy it. --I. F. Stone
