"The hope of a secure and livable..." - Quote by Martin Luther King Jr
The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists, who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood. The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific and religious freedom have always been nonconformists. In any cause that concerns the progress of mankind, put your faith in the nonconformist!

“Until you're grown-up they send you to reform school. After you're grown-up they send you to the penitentiary.”
