PITHY QUOTES FROM PAST MASTERS
You thus have no rights at all over our freedom of thought, you princes; no jurisdiction over that which is true or false; no right to determine the objects of our inquiry or to set limits to it; no right to hinder us from communicating its results, whether they be true or false, to whomever or however we wish.
