Elegy from Another World

If the sky is dark, then survive in the dark; if speaking out is dangerous, then remain silent; if you feel powerless to shine, then huddle in a corner. But do not become accustomed to the darkness and defend it; do not be proud of your own cowardice; do not mock those who are braver and more passionate than yourself. We can be as humble as dust, but we must not be as twisted as maggots.
