"One of the most pitiable objects the world contains is a man of generous natural impulses that have grown sour, impatient, bitter, abusive, uncharitable and ungracious, by devotion to one idea, and the failure to impress it upon the world with the strength by which it possesses himself. Many of these fondly hug the delusion to themselves that they are martyrs, when, in fact, they are only suicides." Timothy Titcomb.
