  3. A quotation from Voltaire

    As you have it in your power, sir, to do some service to letters, I implore you not to clip the wings of our writers so closely, nor to turn into barn-door fowls those who, allowed a start, might become eagles; reasonable liberty permits the mind to soar — slavery makes it creep.
     
    [Puisque vous êtes, monsieur, à portée de rendre service aux belles-lettres, ne rognez pas de si près les ailes à nos écrivains, et ne faites pas des volailles de basse-cour de ceux qui, en prenant l’essor, pourraient devenir des aigles: une liberté honnête élève l’esprit, et l’esclavage le fait ramper.]

    Voltaire (1694-1778) French writer [pseud. of Francois-Marie Arouet]
    Letter (1733-06-20) to a First Commissioner [Lettre á un premier commis] [tr. Tallentyre (1919)]

  4. RARE EVENT: Australia's national broadcaster will be airing part two of '#Ithaka - A Fight to #FreeAssange' tonight.

    Even if you are not fan of the biased reporting that veritably secretes/oozes from #theABC, or even some of the choices the '#filmmakers' have made so far. It does highlight some of #JulianAssange's struggle.

    Watch it if you are in #Australia and have access to a television.

    Boosts okay and welcomed.
