"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 source
of 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, prejudices
can 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."
