“ Freedom of the mind requires not only, or even specially, the absence of legal constraints but the presence of alternative thoughts. The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities.
Alan Bloom, American philosopher, classicist, and academic (1930-1992), The Closing of the American Mind, Simon & Schuster, 1987. (via amiquote)
