"If society and I differ on something, I'm willing to give the matter a
second look. If we still differ, then I am right and society is wrong; and
society can go its way so long as it does not get in my way. But if it does,
there's going to be a fight. And I'm not going to be the one who backs down.
That has been an underlying premise of the conduct of my life."
