A free press can of course be good or bad, but, most certainly, without freedom it will never be anything but bad. . . . Freedom is nothing else but a chance to bet better, whereas enslavement is a certainty of the worse.: Albert Camus (1913 - 1960), Resistance, Rebellion and Death (1960)
Be what you would seem to be -- or, if you'd like it put more simply -- Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.: Lewis Carroll (1832 - 1898), Alice in Wonderland

I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.: Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969)
Feeling good about government is like looking on the bright side of any catastrophe. When you quit looking on the bright side, the catastrophe is still there.: P. J. O'Rourke (1947 - ), Parliament of Whores (1991)
