“The moment you say that any idea system is sacred,
whether it’s a religious belief system or a secular ideology,

to be immune from criticism, satire,
derision, or contempt,
freedom of thought becomes impossible.”

the falsehood and fallacies,
to avert the evil
by the processes of education,
the remedy to be applied is more speech,
not enforced silence.”

to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
