Man is a one among many obstinately refusing reduction to unity.
From no accusation were its statesmen more anxious to be free than from that of a belief in democratic government.
There are realms of conduct within which, to be free, I must be permitted to act as I please; to be denied self-expression there, is to be denied freedom.
The case for the view that freedom of thought and speech is a good in itself is fairly easy to make.
