    “To fight oppression, and to work as best we can for a sane organization of society, we do not have to abandon the state of mind of freedom. If we do that we are letting the same thuggery in by the back door that we are fighting off in front of the house.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “The wheel that squeaks the loudest
    Is the one that gets the grease.”
    —Josh Billings [Henry Wheeler Shaw] (1818–1885)

    “The drive toward knowledge has a moral origin.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
