Free Speech

H.L. Mencken (1880-1956), My Life as Author and Editor, ed. Jonathan Yardley (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1993), p. xviii:
My belief in free speech is so profound that I am seldom tempted to deny it to the other fellow. Nor do I make any effort to differentiate between that other fellow right and that other fellow wrong, for I am convinced that free speech is worth nothing unless it includes a full franchise to be foolish and even to be malicious.
