“We have buried the putrid corpse of liberty”
“We must pose the familiar question about how far our civil liberties have been eroded by the national security state… Somehow it is always a choice between habeas corpus and hundreds of corpses.”
“Liberty," boomed Wednesday, as they walked to the car, "is a bitch who must be bedded on a mattress of corpses.”
“No animal has more liberty than the cat, but it buries the mess it makes. The cat is the best anarchist.”
“The cradles of civilization are the putrid sinks of the world.”
“We have, on the whole, more liberty and less equality than Russia has. Russia has less liberty and more equality. Whether democracy should be defined primarily in terms of liberty or equality is a source of unending debate.”
