"Any social or cultural change has to be made openly and with people agreeing. You don't get there by just pushing an outsider's point of view."

Social and cultural change, however desirable, should not be effected by the engines of national power. Let us, through persuasion and education, seek to improve institutions we deem defective. But let us, in doing so, respect the orderly processes of the law. Any other course enthrones tyrants and dooms freedom.
