"If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all." ― Noam Chomsky Topic(s): Beauty More From Noam Chomsky "Real popular culture is folk art – coalminers’ songs and so forth." "I am opposed to the accumulation of executive power anywhere." "The Bible is one of the most genocidal books in history." More In Beauty "So, we just kind of created our own thing and that’s part of the beauty of Athens: is that it’s so off the map and there’s no way you could ever be the East Village or an L.A. scene or a San Francisco scene, that it just became its own thing."― Michael Stipe "Goodness is beauty in the best estate."― Christopher Marlowe "Beauty is an outward gift, which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused."― Ralph Waldo Emerson
