“What sort of truths are they that the majority usually supports? They are truths that are of such advanced age that they are beginning to break up. And if a truth is as old as that, it is also in a fair way to become a lie, gentlemen.”

“Was the majority right when they stood by while Jesus was crucified? Was the majority right when they refused to believe that the earth moved around the sun and let Galileo be driven to his knees like a dog? It takes fifty years for the majority to be right. The majority is never right until it does right.”

“I am in revolt against the age-old lie that the majority is always right.”

“The most dangerous enemy of the truth and freedom amongst us is the compact majority”

“Oh, yes--you can shout me down, I know! But you cannot answer me. The majority has might on its side--unfortunately; but right it has not.”

“To live is to war with trolls in heart and soul.To write is to sit in judgement on oneself.”

“You should never wear your best trousers when you go out to fight for freedom and truth.”
