Gives 'em life. And the circle goes 'round.

We have got to defeat this attack on the freedom of the mind...But it takes courage for a young man with a family to stand up to it; all the more obligation on those of us who have nothing left to lose.

This freedom seems to me the chief consolation of old age.
