"Do you think that an American who insists on making up his own mind, who objects to being told what to do, to being pushed around by officious officials, is thereby made un-American? I do not. I think that he is being more American than people who do not object." — Linus Pauling
"The fact that independent minds like you are being rebuked equally by official America and official Russia is significant and, to a certain degree, also amusing."— Albert Einstein, letter to Linus Pauling
