safety of silence

I wanted students to leave my classes not just better informed, but more prepared to relinquish the safety of silence, more prepared to speak up, to act against injustice wherever they saw it. This, of course, was a recipe for trouble.
-- Howard Zinn, Historian, (1922-2010), author of A People's History of the United States
