rereading "a man for all seasons"

Thomas More to Thomas Cromwell: You have your desire of me. What you have hunted me for is not my actions, but the thoughts of my heart. It is a long road you have opened. For first men will disclaim their hearts and presently they will have no hearts.

Between Robert Bolt's Thomas More and Atticus Finch, my conscience has all the role models it needs.
