Étienne de La Boétie
“There can be no friendship where there is cruelty, where there is disloyalty, where there is injustice. And in places where the wicked gather there is conspiracy only, not companionship: these have no affection for one another; fear alone holds them together; they are not friends, they are merely accomplices.”
Étienne de La Boétie, The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude

Thomas Aquinas
“He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.”
Thomas Aquinas

Idi Amin
“There is freedom of speech, but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech.”
Idi Amin

C.S. Lewis
“My prayer is that when I die, all of hell rejoices that I am out of the fight.”
CS Lewis

Étienne de La Boétie
“I do not know how it happens that nature fails to place within the hearts of men a burning desire for liberty, a blessing so great and so desirable that when it is lost all evils follow thereafter, and even the blessings that remain lose taste and savor because of their corruption by servitude. Liberty is the only joy upon which men do not seem to insist; for surely if they really wanted it they would receive it. Apparently they refuse this wonderful privilege because it is so easily acquired.”
Étienne de La Boétie, The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude
