"Crito, we owe a cock [chicken] to Aslepius..."
-Socrates, on his death bed.

"My policy was if you're talking to someone else the approach is: 'what's happening in science is the most interesting thing in the world, and if you don't agree with me just fuck off, because I'm not interested in talking to you'."
-Alun Anderson

They came for the gypsies, and I did not speak out, for I am not a gypsy. They came for the Communists, and I did not speak out, for I am not a Communist. They came for the insane, and I did not speak out, for I am not insane. They came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, for I am not a Jew. They came for me, and there was no-one left to speak out for me.

If we cannot speak without first making sure that what we say is acceptable and will have no consequences, we do not have free speech."
