Let people, for instance, rail at friendship, genius, freedom, as long as they will—the very names of these despised qualities are better than anything else that could be substituted for them, and embalm even the most envenomed satire against them.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

“Authority poisons everybody who takes authority on himself.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
