[Quote No.60863] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression and press versus censorship and propaganda: ...A] function of free speech under our system of government is to invite dispute. It may indeed best serve it's high purpose when it indices a condition of unrest, creates dissatisfaction with things as they are, or even stirs people to anger. Speech is often provocative and challenging. It may strike at prejudices and preconceptions and have profound unsettling effects as it presses for understanding." - Justice Potter Stewart
(1915-1985), U. S. Supreme Court Justice. Source: in Free Speech and Political Protest [Marvin Summers], 1967.

[Quote No.60864] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression and press versus censorship and propaganda:] The people's right to obtain information does not, of course, depend on any
assured ability to understand its significance or use it wisely. Facts belong to the people simply because they relate to interests that are theirs, government that is theirs, and votes that they may desire to cast, for they are entitled to an active role in shaping every fundamental decision of state." - Edmond Cahn
Source: The Predicament of Democratic Man, 1961.

[Quote No.60880] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Learning and the need for repetition of what is important, for example in the form of quotes, axioms, etc:] I did not write this book to teach people information they had not known previously. My intention was to remind them of knowledge they already possessed. As a matter of fact, you will find that most people already know the information that I have written. But to the degree that this knowledge is well-known and its truth self-evident, is the degree that people forget about these matters and are not consciously aware of them in their daily lives. Therefore, the benefit of reading such a book does not come from reading it just one time. You might find only a few bits of new information. You will derive benefit, however, from constant review. Keep reviewing ideas for self-improvement - even though on a certain level you already know them. When you constantly review important ideas, they will be at the forefront of your consciousness and you will thereby be able to apply them." - Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto
Quote from his Italian, 18th century introduction to his classic of Jewish ethics, 'Path of the Just'.

[Quote No.60946] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression and press versus censorship and propaganda:-] Everybody is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled,
but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back,
that is an outrage.
" - Sir Winston Churchill

[Quote No.60973] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Readers are leaders:] Never before have I felt so empowered to learn as I do today. When I was young, there were few options to learn on my own. My parents had a set of World Book Encyclopedias, which I read through in alphabetical order. But there were no online courses, video lectures, or podcasts to introduce me to new ideas and thinkers as we have today.
Still, reading books is my favorite way to learn about a new topic. I've been reading about a book a week on average since I was a kid. Even when my schedule is out of control, I carve out a lot of time for reading.

"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression and press versus censorship and propaganda:] Civil libertarians must often remind government officials (and others) that if the First Amendment [to the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights] only protected the expression of popular and agreeable ideas, it would be totally unnecessary since those ideas would never be threatened by our democratic form of government. Our society's commitment to free speech is tested when we encounter the expression of ideas that are disagreeable -- or even offensive." - Timothy Lynch
