John Dewey: “The foe to be dreaded is interference of government.”

That and that only gives reality to public opinion.

We lie, as Emerson said, in the lap of an immense intelligence.

Ideas which are not communicated, shared, and reborn in expression are but soliloquy, and soliloquy is but broken and imperfect thought.

Publication is partial and the public which results is partially informed and formed until the meanings it purveys pass from mouth to mouth.
