I live in America. I have the right to write whatever I want. And it's equaled by another right just as powerful: the right not to read it. Freedom of speech includes the freedom to offend people.

We the People recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights that our destinies are bound together that a freedom which only asks what's in it for me a freedom without a commitment to others a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism is unworthy of our founding ideals and those who died in their defense.

I am involved in a freedom ride protesting the loss of the minority rights belonging to the few remaining earthbound stars. All we demanded was our right to twinkle.

Most people do not really want freedom because freedom involves responsibility and most people are frightened of responsibility.

Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up the person who does not want to carry is own weight this is a frightening prospect.

Freedom is the right to one's dignity as a man.

When we lose the right to be different we lose the privilege to be free.

I believe in freedom of speech but I believe we should also have the right to comment on freedom of speech.

May we think of freedom not as the right to do as we please but as the opportunity to do what is right.
