不同意见的自由并不局限于无关紧要的事。那将仅仅是自由的影子。对其实质内容的检验是，有权对触及现有秩序核心的事物持不同意见。

Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.

George Washington
乔治·华盛顿
All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.
所有人也将铭记这一神圣的原则，即虽然多数人的意愿在所有情况下都占上风，但这种合法的意愿必须是合理的;少数人拥有平等的权利，而平等的法律必须保护这些权利，侵犯这些权利就是压迫。
Thomas Jefferson
托马斯·杰斐逊
Freedom of the press is not an end in itself but a means to the end of achieving a free society.

Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.
在任何读过历史的人看来，不服从是人的本性。进步是通过不服从，通过不服从和反叛取得的。

奥斯卡·王尔德
Others indeed may talk, and write, and fight about liberty, and make an outward pretence to it; but the free-thinker alone is truly free.
