• Dado un hombre con un intelecto moderado, un nivel moral no superior a la media, cierta afluencia retórica y una gran facilidad de palabra, ¿cuál es la carrera en la que, sin la ayuda del nacimiento o el dinero, puede alcanzar más fácilmente el poder y la reputación en la sociedad inglesa? ¿Dónde está ese Goshen de la mediocridad en el que una pizca de ciencia y erudición pasará por instrucción profunda, donde los tópicos serán aceptados como sabiduría, la estrechez intolerante como celo santo, el egoísmo untuoso como piedad dada por Dios?

• Meiklejohn's position is that free speech in a democracy is not an absolute flowing from the boundless source of some presumed 'natural right.' It is a practical necessity of 'self-government by universal suffrage,' for if the citizens are not permitted to argue out the issues of government, how can they be what they must be in a democracy - the rulers as well as the ruled?

• We [Americans] know Martin Luther King Jr. as a statue. We know him as a holiday. We know him as a speech. We don't know him as a man.

• I should say, a piece of advice that was given to me very early on by the principle of RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art) which is where I went. When he auditioned me, he said, "Your speech, monologue, is fine. It's good. Yeah, I think you have ability but you're making it happen. Don't make it happen, let it happen." And that's a sort of subtle shift I think, as an actor.
