A good writer should be both insightful and inciteful. The best ideas are those alive with manly vigor, which rape each virgin mind and fill it with the seed of unborn thoughts. Free speech is an act of desperation. To be taken seriously, you must first offend.

Truth has no manners.
It is no respecter of persons. It wounds kings as deeply as commoners. It cuts down the high, and confirms the lowness of the low. It may dress up for formal occasions, but it does so only in order that it may more shockingly expose itself in front of the assembled company. And just as it respects no one, likewise there are few who respect it .
