A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

We understand the philosophy of those who offer resistance, of those who conduct a counter offensive against the American people’s march of social progress. It is not an opposition which comes necessarily from wickedness — it is an opposition that comes from subconscious resistance to any measure that disturbs the position of privilege.

Speech (1940-11-01), Campaign Address, Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York
