Менкен жжот

[gluckq]

"The average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary, just like his love of sense, justice and truth... Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men. It is the exclusive possession of a small and disreputable minority, like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty, and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies." (C) Mencken
