When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.

  • -- John Adams 约翰·亚当斯

当人们谈论写作、说话或思考的自由时，我只能笑。从来没有这样的东西存在过。现在不存在这样的东西;但我希望它会存在。但这一定是在你我不再写信和说话之后的几百年以后了。
