"You take a number of small steps which you believe are right, thinking maybe tomorrow somebody will treat this as a dangerous provocation. And then you wait. If there is no reaction, you take another step: courage is only an accumulation of small steps."[George Konrád (b. 1933), Hungarian writer, politician. Sunday Correspondent (London, April 1990). On surviving as a writer in Communist Hungary.]
