"Let us be clear: censorship is cowardice...It masks corruption. It is a school of torture: it teaches, and accustoms one to the use of force against an idea, to submit thought to an alien "other." But worst still, censorship destroys criticism, which is the essential ingredient of culture."
-Pablo Antonio
"You're not suppose to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or who says it."
-Malcolm X
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets
you have total freedom to be yourself — and especially to feel.
Or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is
fine with them. That's what real love amounts to — letting a
person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you
pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending
— performing. You get to love your pretense. It's true, we're
locked in an image, an act — and the sad thing is, people get
so used to their image — they grow attached to their masks. They
love their chains. They forget all about who they really are.
And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it — they feel
like you're trying to steal their most precious possession.
- Jim Morrison
"The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life."
-Theodore Roosevelt
"Does any man exist whose ideals, tastes, attitudes are so absolutely valid that he has the right to impose them upon others? Does there exist anywhere a type of man, or nation, that dares impose itself as a model to all men?"
-Aaron David Gordon
"In the name of religion many great and fine deeds have been performed. In the name of religion also, thousands and millions have been killed, and every possible crime has been committed."
-Jawaharlal Nehru
"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain."
-James Baldwin
