Toni Morrison

No more apologies for a bleeding heart when the opposite is no heart at all. Danger of losing our humanity must be met with more humanity. Otherwise we stand meekly behind Eris, hold Nemesis’s cloak, and genuflect at the feet of Thanatos.

S. G. Tallentyre, The Friends of Voltaire

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Abraham Lincoln

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
