"The essence of the free press is..." - Quote by Karl Marx

“A man cannot become a child again, or he becomes childish.”

“In order to arouse sympathy, the aristocracy was obliged to lose sight, apparently, of its own interests, and to formulate its indictment against the bourgeoisie in the interest of the exploited working class alone. Thus, the aristocracy took their revenge by singing lampoons on their new masters and whispering in his ears sinister prophesies of coming catastrophe.”

“...the first step in the revolution by the working class, is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class, to win the battle for democracy.”

“The liberty of speaking and writing guards our other liberties.”

“It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more completely deprive the nation of its benefits than is done by its abandoned prostitution to falsehood.”

“The only security of all is in a free press. The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to. It is necessary, to keep he waters pure.”

“The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave.”

“The worst thing about slavery is that the slaves eventually get to like it.”

“The moment we indulge our affections, the earth is metamorphosed, there is no winter and no night; all tragedies, all ennui s, vanish, all duties even.”
