Once you accept your own death, all of a sudden you’re free to live. You no longer care about your reputation. You no longer care except so far as your life can be used tactically to promote a cause you believe in.
Activist and organizer Saul Alinsky (1909-1972)
And a thought from me: Alinsky is regarded by many to be the father of modern grassroots activism. Read his principles, and especially his 13 tactical rules for activism at the Free Range Activism Virtual Library.

I’m glad you liked the quote, Allyson. Alinksy’s books are must reads for any activist.
