Famous quotes by gertrude himmelfarb:
“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)
