• The American feels too rich in his opportunities for free expression that he often no longer knows what he is free from. Neither does he know where he is not free; he does not recognize his native autocrats when he sees them.

• Este nuevo enemigo pretende destruir nuestra libertad e imponer sus puntos de vista. Nosotros valoramos la vida; los terroristas la destruyen sin piedad. Valoramos la educación; los terroristas no creen que las mujeres deban recibir educación o tener asistencia sanitaria, o salir de casa. Valoramos el derecho a decir lo que pensamos; para los terroristas, la libertad de expresión puede ser motivo de ejecución. Respetamos a las personas de todas las creencias y acogemos con satisfacción la libre práctica de la religión; nuestro enemigo quiere dictar cómo pensar y cómo rendir culto incluso a sus compatriotas musulmanes.

• No, nothing is sacred. And even if there were to be something called sacred, we mere primates wouldn't be able to decide which book or which idol or which city was the truly holy one. Thus, the only thing that should be upheld at all costs and without qualification is the right of free expression, because if that goes, then so do all other claims of right as well.

• You can have no wise laws nor free enforcement of wise laws unless there is free expression of the wisdom of the people -- and, alas, their folly with it. But if there is freedom, folly will die of its own poison, and the wisdom will survive.

• Dijo que "admiraba nuestra valentía" pero que no quería que hiciéramos nada que "dañara nuestro prometedor futuro". Se sentía "orgulloso como estadounidense" de que hubiéramos "ejercido nuestro derecho a la libre expresión pacífica". Pero si lo volvíamos a hacer, no sabía "qué medidas podría tomar el consejo estatal de educación contra alumnos individuales." Traducción: Ya os habéis divertido. Ahora siéntate, cállate y haz el maldito examen. O si no.

• It is frequently said that speech that is intentionally provocative and therefore invites physical retaliation can be punished or suppressed. Yet, plainly no such general proposition can be sustained. Quite the contrary.... The provocative nature of the communication does not make it any the less expression. Indeed, the whole theory of free expression contemplates that expression will in many circumstances be provocative and arouse hostility. The audience, just as the speaker, has an obligation to maintain physical restraint.

  Thomas I. Emerson

• La historia del crecimiento y los descubrimientos intelectuales demuestra claramente la necesidad de una libertad sin restricciones, el derecho a pensar lo impensable, a debatir lo innombrable y a desafiar lo incuestionable. Coartar la libertad de expresión atenta dos veces contra la libertad intelectual, ya que quien priva a otro del derecho a exponer opiniones impopulares necesariamente priva también a otros del derecho a escuchar esas opiniones.

  Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

• The free expression of resentment against one's parents represents a great opportunity. It provides access to one's true self, reactivates numbed feelings, opens the way for mourning and - with luck - reconciliation.

• En la actualidad, cuando las formas predominantes de la sociedad se han convertido en obstáculos para la libre expresión de las facultades humanas, son precisamente las ramas abstractas de la ciencia, las matemáticas y la física teórica, las que ... ofrecen una forma de conocimiento menos distorsionada que otras ramas de la ciencia que están entretejidas con el patrón de la vida cotidiana, y cuya practicidad aparentemente atestigua su carácter realista.

• Colleges have a twofold duty when it comes to dealing with censorship. First, there is the duty to not censor the free expression of ideas, especially important and newsworthy ones. Second, colleges have the duty to protect speakers from being silenced by others. Century has failed miserably on both counts.

• If instituted, the TPP's IP regime would trample over individual rights and free expression, as well as ride roughshod over the intellectual and creative commons. If you read, write, publish, think, listen, dance, sing or invent; if you farm or consume food; if you're ill now or might one day be ill, the TPP has you in its crosshairs.

• In the US the problem has been, for instance, that Nazis have rights of free expression, right? But other kinds of racist speech is not protected. And you have to link the speech to conduct or to a certain kind of threat against minority population. I know that in Europe, this kind of framework doesn't exist in the same way so it's very difficult to make the analogy.
