"And the freedom in question is the most innocuous of all---freedom to make public use of one's reason in all matters. But I hear on all sides the cry: Don't argue! The officer says: Don't argue, get on parade! The tax-official: Don't argue, pay! The clergyman: Don't argue, believe! (Only one ruler in the world says: Argue as much as you like and about whatever you like, but obey!)" "An Answer to the Question: 'What is Enlightenment?'"---Immanuel Kant |
