When my sig is working it says Judge Learned Hand described as 'that ever-gnawing inner doubt as to whether you're right.'

The greatest crimes in history have been perpetrated by such religious and political and racial fanatics, from the persecutions of the Inquisition on down to Communist purges and Nazi genocide.
