from Malcolm Gladwell, "Revisionist History," Season 1, Episode 10, The Satire Paradox:
at MG 38:02
"If there's a lesson to the 10 episodes of this first season of Revisionist History, it's this: that nothing of consequence gets accomplished without courage. You can’t educate the poor without making difficult choices, without giving up some portion of your own privilege, you can't be a great basketball player without being willing to look stupid, you can’t heal your church without sacrificing your own career, you can’t even drive a car properly unless you're willing to acknowledge that you sometimes make mistakes, stupid, involuntary, dumb mistakes. The path to a better world is hard."

"Is that depressing? I don't think so. I think what's depressing is when we ignore everything history is trying to tell us."
