“We who are educated, who are healthy and well fed, would remember the justice of the Incas—who punished nobles more severely than peasants for the same crimes.
For the failing of inaction—in the case of poverty and ignorance and injustice—we will deserve greater punishment as well. For to us is put the great question of our time: whether our heritage of freedom can survive in an era of sweeping technological change—whether revolution can succeed without destroying the very humanity in whose name it is carried on.”
—ROBERT F. KENNEDY
