Free speech is intended to protect the controversial and even outrageous word; and not just comforting platitudes too mundane to need protection.
– Colin Powell
We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is afraid of its people.
– John Fitzgerald Kennedy
“An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.” – Oscar Wilde
“Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.” – Benjamin Franklin
