“...I am in love with freedom and that it is an affair of long standing and that it is a fine state to be in, and that I am deeply suspicious of people who are beginning to adjust to fascism and dictators merely because they are succeeding in war. From such adaptable natures a smell rises. I pinch my nose.”
― E.B. White

“Men are not merely annihilating themselves at a great rate these days, but they are telling one another enormous lies, grandiose fibs...they are more destructive than dive bombers and mine fields, for they challenge not merely one's immediate position but one's main defenses.”
― E.B. White, On Democracy

“Myth makes Echo the subject of longing and desire. Physics makes Echo the subject of distance and design. Where emotion and reason are concerned both claims are accurate. And where there is no Echo there is no description of space or love. There is only science.”
― Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves

“The beauty of free speech which is free is that it is self-annihilating, whether in tiny amounts or in great amounts; and the menace of speech which is not free is that it is self-perpetuating, like a cellar full of rats.”
― E.B. White , On Democracy
