Quote by Ronald Reagan

To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last - but eat you he will.

To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make

Summary

This quote suggests that passively waiting for someone else to fix problems or injustices is dangerous. It compares the situation to feeding a crocodile, where the crocodile will eventually harm you despite temporarily delaying its actions. Similarly, hoping that someone else will address a problem without taking personal action leads to negative consequences. It encourages individuals to proactively stand up against injustices rather than relying on others to solve them.

To find Margo Roth Spiegelman, you must become Margo Roth Spiegelman. And I had done many of the things she might have done: I had engineered a most unlikely prom coupling.

But I could not yet become the wounded person.
