Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither, and lose both.
-- Benjamin Franklin

Some Quotes

I’ve been immersed in it too long. My spirit is wobbly and my mind is confused. The hurt has become too great.

– Ernie Pyle

[If you don’t know who Ernie Pyle was, take the time today to look him up. A WWII war reporter who actually cared about the soldiers who were really fighting and dying, rather than the spin from their commanders]
– – –
It is not right, my fellow-countrymen, you who know very well all the crimes committed in our name. It’s not at all right that you do not breathe a word about them to anyone, not even to your own soul, for fear of having to stand in judgment of yourself. I am willing to believe that at the beginning you did not realize what was happening; later, you doubted whether such things could be true; but now you know, and still you hold your tongues.
– Jean Paul Sartre
