Heinlein Since when do you have to agree with people to defend them from injustice?~ Lillian Hellman There can be no freedom without freedom to fail.~ Eric Hoffer The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves.

We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.~ Eric Hoffer I never hurt nobody but myself and that's nobody's business but my own.~ Billie Holiday If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought -- not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate.~ Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Our institutions were not devised to bring about uniformity of opinion; if they had we might well abandon hope.

If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted.~ Eric Idle I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample under foot.~ Robert G.

America is more like a quilt - many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven together by a common thread.~ Rev. Jesse Jackson The price of freedom of religion, or of speech, or of the press, is that we must put up with, and even pay for, a good deal of rubbish.~ Justice Robert H.
