It is a question of justice, of mercy, of honesty, of intellectual development. If there is a man in the world who is not willing to give to every human being every right he claims for himself, he is just so much nearer a barbarian than I am. It is a question of honesty. The man who is not willing to give to every other the same intellectual rights he claims for himself, is dishonest, selfish, and brutal.

When the government designates as punishable all play of mind against the state, the moderate liberals come and opine that fun, satire, wit, humor, must have free play anyhow, and genius must enjoy freedom. So not the individual man indeed, but still genius, is to be free. Here the state, or in its name the government, says with perfect right: He who is not for me is against me;. Fun, wit, etc. -- in short, the turning of state affairs into a comedy -- have undermined states from of old: they are not "innocent."

...it is noble to write as one thinks; this is the privilege of humanity...
