T o my son, Robert Gregor, and to all young people who will try

to make the world they have inherited a better place.

T here is no freedom either in civil or ecclesiastical [affairs],

I f all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person

in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power,

would be justiﬁ ed in silencing mankind.

—John Stuart Mill

D are to think for yourself.

—Voltaire
