“Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech.”

I think that if rejection could be amputated, the human would not be what he is.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden
