“Before men can act, an issue must be polarized. Men will act when they are convinced that their cause is 100% on the side of the angels, and that the opposition are 100% on the side of the devil… There can be no action until issues are polarized

“Strong opinions aren’t free. You’ll turn some people off. They’ll accuse
you of being arrogant and aloof. That’s life. For everyone who loves you,
