Liberty Bell/becoming A Symbol 1847%e2%80%931865

Famous quotes containing the words liberty, bell and/or symbol:

    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)

    Every time you hear a bell ring, it means that some angel’s just got his wings.
    Frances Goodrich (1891–1984)

    The horse, the horse! The symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action, in man.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
