So I reckoned I wouldn’t bother no more about it, but after this always do whichever come handiest at the time.
– Mark Twain
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Chapter 16. Huck feels guilty about being helping Jim escape, but believes he would feel just as guilty had he not helped him. So instead of following society which justifies the evil of slavery, he will simply follow his heart and instincts.
