Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Quote

Quote from Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.,

If there is any principle
of the Constitution
that more imperatively calls
for attachment than any other
it is the principle of free thought—
not free thought for those
who agree with us
but freedom for the thought
that we hate.
