More From A. J. Liebling
- "An Englishman teaching an American about food is like the blind leading the one-eyed."
- "The pattern of a newspaperman’s life is like the plot of ‘Black Beauty.’ Sometimes he finds a kind master who gives him a dry stall and an occasional bran mash in the form of a Christmas bonus, sometimes he falls into the hands of a mean owner who drives him in spite of spavins and expects him to live on potato peelings."
- "The science of booby-trapping has taken a good deal of the fun out of following hot on the enemy’s heels."
More In Freedom
- "So sometimes the facts are good and sometimes the facts are bad, the important thing from the point of view of a principle as broad and important as freedom of speech is that the courts articulate and set forth in a very protective way what those principles are."― Floyd Abrams
- "I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance."― Stephen Fry
- "When the United States was founded, the very idea of a nation premised on democratic principles of freedom and tolerance was viewed by the vast majority of the world as an experiment doomed to fail. Dictatorships, monarchies, and theocracies had for many centuries ruled the world."― Eliot Spitzer
