"Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." -Eugene V. Debs. The man said these words at his sentencing hearing. Debs was arrested for giving a speech in opposition to U.S. involvement in WW1 under the espionage act. Love him.
