Text Quotes
The library is central to our free society. It is a critical element in the free exchange of information at the heart of our democracy  (Free Society Quotes) Getting rid of the dictator is only a first step in establishing a free society. The dictatorship must also be disassembled  (Free Society Quotes) A free society is one in which individuals are free to discover for themselves the available range of alternatives  (Free Society Quotes) Hateful, blasphemous, prejudiced, vulgar, rude, or ignorant remarks are the music of a free society, and the relentless patter of idiots is how we know we’re in one. When all the words in our public conversation are fair, good, and true, it’s time to make a run for the fence  (Free Society Quotes) There is no free society without silence, without the internal and external spaces of solitude in which the individual freedom can develop  (Free Society Quotes) Democracy in itself does not define or guarantee a free society. History has told many stories of democratic societies that have degenerated into corruption, plunder, and tyranny  (Free Society Quotes) Free speech is the bedrock of liberty and a free society. And yes, it includes the right to blaspheme and offend  (Free Society Quotes) If you say to people that they, as a matter of fact, can’t protect their conversations, in particular their political conversations, I think you take a long step toward making a transition from a free society to a totalitarian society  (Free Society Quotes) In a free society, individuals have the right to do right or wrong, as long as they don’t threaten or infringe upon the rights or property of others  (Free Society Quotes) A simple way to determine whether the right to dissent in a particular society is being upheld is to apply the town square test: Can a person walk into the middle of the town square and express his or her views without fear of arrest, imprisonment, or physical harm? If he can, then that person is living in a free society. If not, it’s a fear society  (Free Society Quotes) Satire must always accompany any free society. It is an absolute necessity. Even in the most repressive medieval kingdoms, they understood the need for the court jester, the one soul allowed to tell the truth through laughter. It is, in many ways, the most powerful form of free speech because it is aimed at those in power, or those whose ideas would spread hate. It is the canary in the coalmine, a cultural thermometer, and it always has to push, push, push the boundaries of society to see how much it’s grown  (Free Society Quotes) I’m embarrassed for us as a free society that we actually want people punished for saying things we don’t like  (Free Society Quotes) In a free society, we will tolerate boorish people, who have abhorrent behavior, but if we’re civilized people, we publicly criticize that, and don’t belong to those groups, or don’t associate with those people  (Free Society Quotes) True prosperity can only come from a healthy economy and sound money. That can only be achieved in a free society  (Free Society Quotes) Terrorism thrives on a free society. The terrorist uses the feelings in a free society to sap the will of civilization to resist. If the terrorist succeeds, he has won and the whole of free society has lost  (Free Society Quotes) I see the psychedelic experience as a birthright, and we can’t have a free society until people are free to explore their own mind  (Free Society Quotes) Political correctness is one of the engines of nannyism. Allowing and even encouraging offensive ideas is vital for the intellectually health of a free society  (Free Society Quotes) Freedom is won by relegating religion to a purely private sphere remote from the body politic. In fact, the establishment of a free society is predicated on the idea that religion must be surgically removed from culture  (Free Society Quotes) As you have fewer and fewer voices in a democracy, in a free society, it’s not good to limit the number of voices  (Free Society Quotes) If we wish to preserve a free society, it is essential that we recognize that the desirability of a particular object is not sufficient justification for the use of coercion  (Free Society Quotes) The most important element of a free society, where individual rights are held in the highest esteem, is the rejection of the initiation of violence  (Free Society Quotes) The path towards a free society has not been simple. There are tragic and glorious pages in our history  (Free Society Quotes) What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free  (Free Society Quotes) Very few people really care about freedom, about liberty, about the truth, very few. Very few people have guts, the kind of guts on which a real democracy has to depend. Without people with that sort of guts a free society dies or cannot be born  (Free Society Quotes) In a free society, one does not have to deal with those who are irrational. One is free to avoid them  (Free Society Quotes) ... morally speaking, there is no limit to the concern one must feel for the suffering of human beings, that indifference to evil is worse than evil itself, that in a free society, some are guilty, but all are responsible  (Free Society Quotes) A free society will abide unofficial, private discrimination, even when that means allowing hate-filled groups to exclude people based on the color of their skin  (Free Society Quotes) I have cherished the ideal a democratic and free society... it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die  (Free Society Quotes) It is because freedom means the renunciation of direct control of individual efforts that a free society can make use of so much more knowledge than the mind of the wisest ruler could comprehend  (Free Society Quotes) Because we live in a largely free society, we tend to forget how limited is the span of time and the part of the globe for which there has ever been anything like political freedom: the typical state of mankind is tyranny, servitude, and misery  (Free Society Quotes)
