Top 5 quotes from Edward R(oscoe) Murrow
"If none of us ever read a book that was 'dangerous,' had a friend who was 'different' or joined an organization that advocated 'change,' we would all be just the kind of people Joe McCarthy wants. Whose fault is that? Not really [McCarthy's]. He didn't create this situation of fear. He merely exploited it, and rather successfully."
"No one can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices."

"Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation."
"Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices -- just recognize them."
