People
"I was inspired to write this book by those who are sceptical of the power of freedom to change the world."
Change
"In contrast, fear societies are societies in which dissent is banned."
Fear
"My optimism is not based primarily on the successful march of democracy in recent times but rather is based on the experience of having lived in a fear society and studied the mechanics of tyranny that sustain such a society."
Success
"This scepticism is the same scepticism I heard a generation ago in the USSR when few thought that a democratic transformation behind the iron curtain was possible."
Thought
"When we are unwilling to draw clear moral lines between free societies and fear societies, when we are unwilling to call the former good and the latter evil, we will not be able to advance the cause of peace because peace cannot be disconnected from freedom."
Peace
"It is important to remember that some of the most serious thinkers once thought that democracy was not compatible with the cultures of Germany, Italy, Japan, Latin America and Russia."
Thought
"Will dissent be permitted? The answer to that question will determine whether the society is a free society or a fear society."
