Justice John Paul Stevens Quote

"Just as the right to speak and the right to refrain from speaking
are complementary components of a broader concept of individual freedom,
so also the individual’s freedom to choose his own creed is the
counterpart of his right to refrain from accepting the creed established
by the majority."
