A people which is able to say everything becomes able to do everything.

If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.

We who officially value freedom of speech above life itself seem to have nothing to talk about but the weather.

We hear about constitutional rights, free speech and the free press. Every time I hear those words I say to myself, "That man is a Red, that man is a Communist." You never heard a real American talk in that manner.

The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it.

When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time; one must always go forward -- or go back. He who now talks about the "freedom of the press" goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.

At no time is freedom of speech more precious than when a man hits his thumb with a hammer.

The only way to make sure people you agree with can speak is to support the rights of people you don't agree with.

Marks on paper are free -- free speech -- press -- pictures all go together I suppose.

Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game. Free speech is life itself.

The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own opinions.
