    “Passivity can be a provoking modus operandi;
    Consider the Empire and Gandhi.”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    “Unbreachable the fort
    Of the long-batter’d world uplifts its wall;
    And strange and vain the earthly turmoil grows,
    And near and real the charm of thy repose,
    And night as welcome as a friend would fall.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
