Famous quotes containing the word dissent:

    May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
    Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)

    We live in oppressive times. We have, as a nation, become our own thought police; but instead of calling the process by which we limit our expression of dissent and wonder “censorship,” we call it “concern for commercial viability.”
    David Mamet (b. 1947)
