I keep seeing protesters who say: "We will not be silent!" about whatever issue they're protesting. But what if they were in a library, and they were protesting something about some library policy? Then it might go something like this:
Protesters: "We will not be silent!"
Library Patrons: "But we're trying to read."
Protesters: "Okay, but we will not be prevented from writing on a posterboard and holding it up as a sign!"
Library Patrons: "Okay, that's fine. We'll read it when we're in between chapters, if that's okay with you."
Protesters: "Okay, that's fine. Thanks."
(Library patrons are so reasonable...)
