  6. In the true spirit of the freedom of speech and freedom of the press: “You have not converted a man because you have silenced him.” John Morley “One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.” Golda Meir “There is nothing more frightening than active ignorance.” Goethe
