"All silencing of discussion is an assumption of
infallibility ... But the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of opinion is,
that it is robbing the human race ... If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the
opportunity of exchanging error for truth; if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a
benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its
collision with error." (On Liberty, Chapter 2)
