The first are acceptable, the second laudable; but blessed are those who hunger for hardship and thirst for dishonor, for they shall be filled with the food whereof there can be no satiety. — John Climacus

We should always look at censorship as an economic signal that reveals the potential power of speech in that jurisdiction. — Julian Assange
