Has there ever been a society which has died of dissent? Several have died of conformity in our lifetime. - Jacob Bronowski

We become more and more aware that what we think about the world is not what the world is but what the human animal sees of the world.

We are all afraid - for our confidence, for the future, for the world. That is the nature of the human imagination. Yet every man, every civilization, has gone forward because of its engagement with what it has set itself to do. The personal commitment of a man to his skill, the intellectual commitment and the emotional commitment working together as one, has made the Ascent of Man.

Dissent is the mark of freedom.
