“If someone tells you you are too weak to live with freedom, they have turned you into a child”
Alan Charles Kors (1943) American academic
As quoted in "College" (2005), Bullshit!, HBO
2000s
Context: What universities are saying by these codes, special protections, and double standards — to women, to blacks, to Hispanics, to gay and lesbian students — is, "You are too weak to live with freedom. You are too weak to live with the First Amendment." If someone tells you you are too weak to live with freedom, they have turned you into a child.
Borís Pasternak book Doctor Zhivago
И вот оказалось, что только жизнь, похожая на жизнь окружающих и среди нее бесследно тонущая, есть жизнь настоящая, что счастье обособленное не есть счастье...
As quoted in The Reporter, Volume 19, 1958
