Quote 1: “A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority, it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight” (Thoreau 22).
Quote 2: “If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose” (Thoreau 22).

Ok thankyou. How about the 2nd part that I recently posted?
What full sentence would you use to introduce quotation #1?
