“The price of freedom of religion or of speech or of the press is that we must put up with, and even pay for, a good deal of rubbish.”

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

“We must relentlessly and unyieldingly protect freedom of speech and peaceful assembly.”

“Freedom has a high price, as high as that of slavery; the only difference is that you pay with pleasure and a smile, even when that smile is dimmed with tears.”

“What makes this inner void so difficult to deal with is that it's amorphous. We can't fix it because we can't pinpoint its precise cause. And even if we could, we wouldn't be able to banish it. It's the price we pay for being human.”

“It's best not to wonder at what cost. Freedom is the only price to pay for anything in this place.”
