The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
Where this age differs from those immediately preceding it is that a liberal intelligentsia is lacking. Bully-worship, under various disguises, has become a universal religion, and such truisms as that a machine-gun is still a machine-gun even when a “good” man is squeezing the trigger have turned into heresies which it is actually becoming dangerous to utter.
Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty.
To deprive a man of his natural liberty and to deny to him the ordinary amenities of life is worse then starving the body; it is starvation of the soul, the dweller in the body.
