[W]ere it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.

The dowry (Hafez)

The world displays herself to us as such
                                     a charming bride,
But life's the dowry that men pay to lie
                                     at her sweet side.

Hafez
