To deny novelty or grievance a right of expression is a certain, if, indeed, an ultimate, validation of the truth they contain.
The only way to deal with novelty is to understand it, and the only way to deal with grievance is to seek a remedy for the complaint it embodies.
When attacks on liberty are political or economic, it is their motive rather than their nature that changes.
He is able, accordingly, to indulge in the twofold luxury not only of preserving his own authority, but also of assisting the persons attacked to enter, if they so choose, the way of truth.
