“Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech.”

“The novel is the privileged vehicle of two ways of being: narrative and freedom: to be new (novel) in a speech open to all, and to be free in a speech that never concludes.”

“The freedom of speech of private individuals includes the right to not agree, not to listen, and not to finance one's own antagonists.”

“... free speech isn't absolute. We have the freedoms we fight for and we lose those we don't defend.”

“There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.”
