Harold J. Laski: “The equality will be denied, and, with it, the freedom to claim equality.”

The case for the view that freedom of thought and speech is a good in itself is fairly easy to make.

That some sort of toleration was inevitable few, save a group of prejudiced irreconcilables, would have denied.

He realized that freedom is born of a certain spontaneity for which the rigid lines of doctrinaire thinkers left no room.

If he stands alone, he has neither the knowledge nor the power to secure for himself proper protection.
