Also from him :
a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people
The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie — deliberate, contrived and dishonest — but the myth — persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.
Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
