How much does a man live, after all?
Does he live a thousand days, or only one?
For a week, or for several centuries?
How long does a man spend dying?
What does it mean to say "for ever"?

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
We will not walk in fear, one of another.
We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason. We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.

Edward R. Murrow
