Famous quotes containing the words essential and/or clement:
“As liberty of thought is absolute, so is liberty of speech, which is “inseparable” from the liberty of thought. Liberty of speech, moreover, is essential not only for its own sake but for the sake of truth, which requires absolute liberty for the utterance of unpopular and even demonstrably false opinions.”
—Gertrude Himmelfarb (b. 1922)
“Clinging close with the crush of the Python,
When she maketh her murderous meal!”
—Arthur Clement Hilton (1851–1877)
