Abe Osheroff, 1915-2008

Make you feel like you've only been a passive observer of life? Me too. I wish I had half this much courage and conviction.

My favorite quote:

"The stuff we're made of never goes away, with or without monuments. Because the bastards will never cease their evil, and the decent human beings will never stop their struggle."

Here's a profile of Abe from 2004.

And here's a website set up for him. Make sure you listen to the recording of the last speech he gave.
