Each age finds that the incidence of freedom is significant at some special point, and there, once more, the lesson of freedom has to be learned.
To deny novelty or grievance a right of expression is a certain, if, indeed, an ultimate, validation of the truth they contain.
The essence of the persecuting position is always that the persecutor has hold of truth and that he would betray its service by allowing it to be questioned.
