"I have always strenuously supported the right of every man to his own
opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine. He who denies
another this right makes a slave of himself to his present opinion,
because he precludes himself the right of changing it." -- Thomas
Paine, 1783 

"Free speech exercised both individually and through a free press, is a
necessity in any country where people are themselves free." -- Theodore
Roosevelt, 1918

"The truth is found when men are free to pursue it." -- Franklin D.
Roosevelt, 1936

"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people
what they do not want to hear." -- George Orwell, 1945

"Any time we deny any citizen the full exercise of his constitutional
rights, we are weakening our own claim to them." -- Dwight David
Eisenhower, 1963

"What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists is not that
they are extreme, but that they are intolerant." -- Robert F. Kennedy,
1964

"Go fuck yourself." -- Dick Cheney, 2004
