"Necessity is the
plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of
tyrants; it is the
creed of slaves." --William Pitt, The Younger (1759-1806), British
statesman.
"They that can give up
essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither
liberty nor safety." --Benjamin Franklin
"Once a government is
committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition,
it has only one way to
go,and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures,
until it becomes a
sourceof terror to all its citizens
and creates a country
where everyone lives in fear." --Harry S. Truman
"The tools of conquest
do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout.
There are weapons that are
simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices, to be found only in the minds
of men.
For the record, prejudice
scan kill, and suspicion can destroy, and the thoughtless, frightened
search
for a scapegoat has a
fallout all of its own for the children, and the children yet unborn.
And the pity of it is that
these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone."
