I don't know if this is the kind of thing you're talking about or whatever
and you probably can't use it because I lent someone the copy of the book so
I can't give ya page and publisher, but it was one of the most moving
passages I've ever read.

"We cannot come to you. You will not let us. You do not believe in change,
in chance, in evolution. You would destroy us rather than admit that there
is hope! We cannot come to you. We can only wait for you to come to us.

--Shevek in "The Dispossessed" by Ursula K. LeGuin
