"We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know it now."
Patrick Henry, 1775
