From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2007-01-18:

The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."

-- William Butler Yeats, from his poem The Second Coming.

"They who in folly or mere greed
Enslaved religion, markets, laws,
Borrow our language now and bid
Us to speak up in freedom's cause.

It is the logic of our times,
No subject for immortal verse—
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse." - Cecil Day-Lweis
