“Imagine an iron house, with absolutely no windows, indestructible, with many people asleep inside who will soon die of suffocation…Would you think you are doing them a good turn [by waking them before they perish]?”
“But if a few awake, you can’t say there is no hope.”
Lu Xun
"Yet I could not erase all possibility of hope, for hope lies in the future. I could not rely on my own present evidence in its lack, to refute his assertion that it might exist one day."
-Lu Xun, from Preface to Call to Arms, 1922.
