A quotation from Terry Pratchett

   Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest and then I will murmur agreement, not actually say anything. I am not as stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard ...
   But no one said anything. The cowards, each man thought.

Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
