“It is the dissenter, the theorist, the aspirant, who is quitting this ancient domain to embark on seas of adventure, who engages our interest.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose.”
