Taking a new step, uttering a new word. We are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked away in the past and cannot be a nuisance. In the present, amidst dangers whose outcome we cannot foresee, we get nervous about her, and admit censorship. Power may be at the end of a gun, but sometimes it's also at the end of the shadow or the image of a gun. The free expression of the hopes and aspirations of a people is the greatest and only safety in a sane society.
Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.
To not dare is to lose oneself. Many people fear nothing more terribly than to take a position which stands out sharply and clearly from the prevailing opinion. The tendency of most is to adopt a view that is so ambiguous that it will include everything and so popular that it will include everybody. Not a few men who cherish lofty and noble ideas hide them under a bushel for fear of being called different. Martin Luther KING Jr .
