"Social theorists have tried many definitions of human nature:
human beings are the animals that make tools, that laugh, that
play. I have another:

Human-beings are history-makers. We eternally make our present
by looking backwards. We present ourselves by expressing a
significant past. To know us in our history is to know who we
are."

      ---Greg Dening, “Performances”

"Free thought, necessarily involving freedom of speech & press,
I may tersely define thus: no opinion a law -- no opinion a
crime."
