Spineless
"I will not serve that in which I no longer believe,
whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church:
and I will try to express myself in some mode of life
or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using
for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use -
silence, exile and cunning."
- James Joyce, Portrait of the artist as a young man.
