How often people speak of art and science as though they were two entirely different things, with no interconnection...That is all wrong. The true artist is quite rational as well as imaginative and knows what he is doing; if he does not, his art suffers. The true scientist is quite imaginative as well as rational, and sometimes leaps to solutions where reason can follow only slowly; if he does not, his science suffers.

Liberty
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.
It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once.
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty."
— Benjamin Franklin
