Anthony T. Hincks
“I guess that if you're afraid of a little opposition, then you're not the person who you portrayed yourself to be.”
Anthony T. Hincks

E.B. White
“...I am in love with freedom and that it is an affair of long standing and that it is a fine state to be in, and that I am deeply suspicious of people who are beginning to adjust to fascism and dictators merely because they are succeeding in war. From such adaptable natures a smell rises. I pinch my nose.”
E.B. White
