First round, thirty second fight
I don't want a happy ending, I want more story.
-Mosca Mye, Fly By Night by Frances Hardinge
The heart of being a radical isn't knowing all the right books, it isn't about kings over the sea or the parliament over in the capital. It's... looking at the world around you and seeing the things that make you sick to the stomach with anger. The things there's no point making a fuss about because that's just the way the world is, and always was and always will be. And then it means getting good and angry about it anyway, and kickin' up a hurricane. Because nothing is writ across the sky to say the world must be that way. A tree can grow two hundred years, and look like it'll last a thousand more--but when the lightning strikes at last, it burns.
