ALL IDEAS ARE DANGEROUS

'...all ideas are dangerous - dangerous because ideas can only lead to action and where the action leads no man can say. And dangerous in this respect: that confronted with the impossibility of remaining faithful to one's beliefs, and the equal impossibility of becoming free of them, one can be driven to the most inhuman excesses.' 
James Baldwin, 'Stranger in the Village' in Notes of a Native Son, p.175.
