"We each find our way through life as we wish. We are each free to do what we want for any reason or for no reason. Life is simple if you stay on the simple level. But there are ALSO other levels where more thought and discernment are required."

“The traditional remedy for speech that offends you is to ignore it. To do anything further only gives it more power and signficance than it ever had.”

“You can certainly suppress an idea but you cannot kill it. All you can do is put it under pressure, which quite naturally increases its potential energy. The very idea of suppressing any form of speech or expression sounds kind and generous and open-minded and supportive of the oppressed. When put into action, however, the unintended consequences become evident.”
