To deny novelty or grievance a right of expression is a certain, if, indeed, an ultimate, validation of the truth they contain.

When attacks on liberty are political or economic, it is their motive rather than their nature that changes.

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.
