Free Expression

Famous quotes containing the words free and/or expression:

“The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)

“No man’s thoughts are new, but the style of their expression is the never-failing novelty which cheers and refreshes men. If we were to answer the question, whether the mass of men, as we know them, talk as the standard authors and reviewers write, or rather as this man writes, we should say that he alone begins to write their language at all.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
