“When people are sad, they don’t do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change. When they get angry, they aren’t interested in logic, they aren’t interested in odds, they aren’t interested in consequences. When they get angry, they realize the condition that they’re in- that their suffering is unjust, immoral, illegal, and that anything they do to correct it or eliminate it, they’re justified.” - Malcolm X
