Speech Quotes

I believe in freedom of speech, and at the same time I think that sometimes it can be worth it to not say something.

As soon as there is no longer any discussion possible, than it has reached its limits and therefore freedom of speech will no longer exist.

Does it ever give thee pause that men used to have a soul? Not by hearsay alone, or as a figure of speech, but as a thruth that they knew and acted upon.

Katherine it was who took upon herself the complete charge of Junior's speech.

There were times, thought Mother, when the spirit of the thing was so much more important than the flesh in which it was clothed.
