    “The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own opinions.

Every man has a right to be heard; but no man has the right to strangle democracy with a single set of vocal chords.”
    —Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)

    “The Brain is just the weight of God—
    For—Heft them—Pound for Pound—
    And they will differ—if they do—
    As Syllable from Sound—”
