“I learned early the folly of fighting the viciously inclined. I was once expelled from an island, as a boy, by a gloomy and brooding governor on a charge of always being happy and smiling. There was no more story than that.
“So what does one do? Does one seek vengeance and death on men because they are ignorant, dull or intolerant?
“Not when one’s mission is to understand and help men.
“Does one defend oneself against lies and infamy when one is already too busy doing his job?
“One chooses what one is to do. And does it. All else is foolish distraction.”
— L. Ron Hubbard
