[Think] great quote on being an activist

[Fen Labalme]

I just added this one to my quotes page at <http://www.fen.net/quotes/>:

      People single me out for being an activist, but I always say
      that the impulse is inborn - it just needs to be nurtured. It
      starts when you're little, and you see some kids being unkind
      to another kid on the bus. Maybe you do something. Maybe you
      don't. But there was that little hint in your brain that
      something was wrong, that you weren't comfortable with the
      situation.

      Throughout your life, you have the opportunity to learn from
      that experience, to react to that little voice inside of you
      that says something has crossed your moral bottom line, to
      ignore what others are telling you to do and honor your
      impulse. The very core of being an activist is being true to
      yourself.

                                        -- Susan Sarandon
