My belief in free speech is so profound that I am seldom tempted to deny it to the other fellow. Nor do I make any effort to differentiate between the other fellow right and the other fellow wrong, for I am convinced that free speech is worth nothing unless it includes a full franchise to be foolish and even … malicious.

Friday Quote – Brandon Sanderson
WRITE IT BADLY. Write it badly, write it badly, write it badly, write it badly. Stop what you’re doing, open a Word document, put a pencil on some paper, just get the idea of of your head. Let it be good later. Write it down now. Otherwise it will die in there.
Friday Quote – Jeremy Goldberg
Courage is knowing it might hurt and doing it anyway.
Stupidity is the same.
And that’s why life is hard.
Friday Quote – Julie Borowski
A right is not something someone gives you – it’s something that no one can take away.

Friday Quote – Frank Arrigazzi
It is when we stop thinking about what we don’t have or what we lack, and become grateful for who we are, that we can gain access to true unlimited inspiration.
Friday Quote – Milton B. Medary Jr

This was an inscription in the museum for Bok Tower in Lake Wales, FL. If you have the chance to visit, you should.
Friday Quote – Rudyard Kipling
You talk o’ better food for us, an’ schools, an’ fires, an’ all:
Excerpt from Kipling’s poem “tommy”
We’ll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don’t mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow’s Uniform is not the soldier-man’s disgrace.
For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Chuck him out, the brute!”
But it’s “Saviour of ‘is country” when the guns begin to shoot;
An’ it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ anything you please;
An’ Tommy ain’t a bloomin’ fool — you bet that Tommy sees!
Friday Quote – Madeleine L’Engle
Maybe that’s the best part of going away for a vacation – coming home again.
Friday Quote – Glenn Greenwald
