If I am not for myself, who will be for me?

If I am only for myself, what am I?

If not now, when?

- Hillel the Elder (Pirkei Avot 1:14)

"Damned if I know what’s going to happen. I mean, at some level, I think that the civilization that may be destroyed tonight is our own. I mean, are we civilized if we do this kind of thing? If America as a nation doesn’t stand up against this, what are we?" - Paul Krugman
