Citizen

Famous quotes containing the word citizen:

“Loss of freedom seldom happens overnight. Oppression doesn’t stand on the doorstep with toothbrush moustache and swastika armband—it creeps up insidiously ... step by step, and all of a sudden the unfortunate citizen realises that it is gone.”
—Baron Lane (b. 1918)

“The citizen who criticizes his country is paying it an implied tribute.”
—J. William Fulbright (1905–1995)
