"Freedom is the right to be wrong, not the right to do wrong."

"Freedom includes the right to say what others may object to and resent. . . The essence of citizenship is to be tolerant of strong and provocative words."

"He who does not know the past can never understand the present, and he certainly can do nothing for the future."
