captain america quote

this is my favorite quote from captain america. i don't know who was writing the comic at that time, but whoever it was, this is great. the italics are from the comic, not from me; but the bold at the end was added for dramatic effect.

"doesn't matter what the press says. doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. this nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. when the mod and the press and the whole world tell you to move; your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world--

-- no, you move."
