When we acknowledge the kingdom of the self, we will no longer accept slavery either for ourselves or for others, no matter how it is disguised.

I am not as concerned about choosing the right words as I am in letting the words flow naturally.

The true test of liberty is the right to test it, the right to question it, the right to speak to my neighbors, to grab them by the shoulders and look into their eyes and ask, “Are we free?” I have thought that if we are free, the answer cannot hurt us. And if we are not free, must we not hear the answer?

The function of the law is not to provide justice or to preserve freedom. The function of the law is to keep those who hold power, in power.

In any nation in which people's rights have been subordinated to the rights of the few, in any totalitarian nation, the first institution to be dismantled is the jury. I was, I am, afraid.

The art of arguing is the art of living. We argue because we must, because life emends it, because, in the end, life itself is but an argument.

My intent is to tell the truth as I know it, realizing that what is true for me may be blasphemy for others.
