Secrecy is the keystone to all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy and censorship. When any government or church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives.

No, not the rack nor the atomic bomb, not anything. You can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.
