“Moral authority doesn’t develop spontaneously; it must be earned. Arthur Koestler… once asked, ‘Can a conscience function by proxy?’ The answer is no, it cannot. You must take action yourself, even if it is a small, modest action. You cannot pass it off to someone else. You build the authority by doing it; you do not wait for someone to give you permission.”

– Elie Wiesel
