The fountain is my speech. The tulips are my speech. The grass and trees are my speech.

George T. Delacorte, Jr.

Freedom of speech and thought matters, especially when it is speech and thought with which we disagree. The moment the majority decides to destroy people for engaging in thought it dislikes, thought crime becomes a reality.

Ben Shapiro

Thought is the fountain of action, life and manifestation; make the fountain pure, and all will be pure.

James Allen

In the end, what would you gain from everlasting remembrance? Absolutely nothing. So what is left worth living for? This alone: justice in thought, goodness in action, speech that cannot deceive, and a disposition glad of whatever comes, welcoming it as necessary, as familiar, as flowing from the same source and fountain as yourself.

Marcus Aurelius

I write everything with fountain pens. I don't know why. I've done it since I was bar mitzvahed. I was given a fountain pen, a Parker fountain pen, and I loved it, and I've never liked writing anything with pencils or ball-points.

Tony Kushner

First Amendment freedoms are most in danger when the government seeks to control thought or to justify its laws for that impermissible end. The right to think is the beginning of freedom, and speech must be protected from the government because speech is the beginning of thought.

Anthony Kennedy

Speech is external thought, and thought internal speech.

Antoine Rivarol

He gave man speech, and speech created thought, Which is the measure of the universe.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth, When thought is speech, and speech is truth.

Walter Scott

It's always easy to get people to condemn threats to free speech when the speech being threatened is speech that they like. It's much more difficult to induce support for free speech rights when the speech being punished is speech they find repellent.

Glenn Greenwald

Water from the white fountain didn't taste any better than from the black fountain.

B. B. King

A film is a petrified fountain of thought.

Jean Cocteau

That which the fountain sends forth returns again to the fountain.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I thought that one of the things that we were losing sight of is the basic reasons that we do protect free speech and freedom of the press and the essentiality and centrality in our lives of really giving broad protection to freedom of speech and freedom of the press in America. I thought I could do that by telling stories of some of the cases that established those principles on a real life on the ground basis.

Floyd Abrams

The first amendment protects free speech, but if you don't have freedom of thought, do you really have freedom of speech?

Rob Kampia

If you grew up white before the civil rights movement anywhere in the South, all grown-ups lied. They'd tell you stuff like, 'Don't drink out of the colored fountain, dear, it's dirty.' In the white part of town, the white fountain was always covered with chewing gum and the marks of grubby kids' paws, and the colored fountain was always clean.
