On the topic of (not) going too far

From time to time, I find quotes that were meant to be motivating, eventhough I find that they should be handled with care.
One such occasion was when I saw the following quote by the author T. S. Eliot:

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

It's probably true. But in times, where moderate voices seem to under an increasing pressure from people with more extreme points of view, I am afraid that what we need might not be those who are willing to go too far. I think there are enough of those. We rather need an appeal to normal, moderate people.

An appeal to normal, moderate people

As the reader might know, I have a habit to collect quotes from people expressing wise things. This post is a part of this tradition - I found it in a tweet from media and tech analyst Benedict Evans who observed that as soon as a topic is outside the boundaries of what normal, moderate people will discuss, the people who have the extreme points of view towards the topic will fill the void where the above mentioned normal moderate people should have been heard.
So this should be seen as an appeal to all of us, who consider ourselves normal, moderate people - to keep letting our voices be heard, even though the extreme points of view do their best to monopolize the bandwidth.
