Quote from William O. Douglas,


"Heresy trials are foreign to our Constitution.
Men may believe what they cannot prove.
They may not be put to the proof of their religious doctrines or beliefs.
Religious experiences which are as real as life
to some may be incomprehensible to others."

William O. Douglas (more quotes by William O. Douglas or books by/about William O. Douglas)


(1898-1980), U. S. Supreme Court Justice
