Angie Thomas
“Brave doesn't mean you're not scared. It means you go on even though you're scared.”
Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

Edward Snowden
“Ultimately, arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”
Edward Snowden

Edward Snowden
“The government should be afraid of the people, the people shouldn't be afraid of the government.”
Edward Snowden, Permanent Record

“If you are not free to choose wrongly and irresponsibly, you are not free at all.”
Jacob Hornberger

“Perhaps it was true a century ago—I deeply regret that it is no longer true—but the United States criminal justice system long ago lost any legitimate claim to the loyal cooperation of American citizens. You cannot write tens of thousands of criminal statutes, including many touching upon conduct that is neither immoral nor dangerous, write those laws as broadly as you can imagine, scatter them throughout the thousands of pages of the United States Code—and then expect decent law-abiding, unsuspecting citizens to cooperate with an investigation into whether they may have violated some law they have never even heard about. The next time some police officer or government agent asks you whether you would be willing to answer a few questions about where you have been and what you have been doing, you must respectfully but very firmly decline.”
James Duane, You Have the Right to Remain Innocent
