"Inner strength and outward respect. These are the people who hold a community together, who lead. Unlike the sheep and the wolves, they perform a better role than the script given to them by their inner fears and desires. They act out the script of decency, of self sacrifice, of public honor...of civilization. And in the pretense, it becomes reality. There really is civilization in human history, but only because of people like these. The shepards."
- Orson Scott Card, Xenocide
