"We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act."
- George Orwell
An open letter from German writer Herta Muller.
And, as in Orwell's time, those who need most to heed those words, don't.
