    “In her days every man shall eat in safety

    The merry songs of peace to all his neighbors.”

    “If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.”
    —Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

    “O you singers solitary, singing by yourself, projecting me,
    O solitary me listening, never more shall I cease perpetuating you
    Never more shall I escape, never more the reverberations,
    Never more the cries of unsatisfied love be absent from me,
    Never again leave me to be the peaceful child I was before what
    there in the night,
    By the sea under the yellow and sagging moon,
    The messenger there aroused, the fire, the sweet hell within,
    The unknown want, the destiny of me.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
