Douglas wrote the original quote in 1976 for a publication of the Washington state Bar Association.

"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."

William O. Douglas, in The Douglas Letters: Selections from the Private Papers of Justice William O. Douglas (1987). 1976 Letter to Young Lawyers Section of the Washington State Bar Association
