“I believe that a man — a healthy, walking, talking human being — is the ultimate viral biological weapon. A man with strong convictions can spread those convictions to others, in a geometric progression, much like a virus. All that it takes is just one man, one driven man, to awaken a hundred men, and they in turn recruit a thousand, who recruit ten thousand, and then an entire nation. What is needed is awakening to the fact that the people vastly outnumber their oppressors and that they can quickly overthrow them. Once it begins to spread, a truthful idea cannot be imprisoned. It cannot be silenced. It cannot be killed. And if that idea is a grand notion like liberty for a nation, then I believe that it is predestined to reach its logical end.” – James Wesley, Rawles, from the unpublished Piece of Resistance novel manuscript.
