Menneskene ere dog urimelige. De bruge aldrig de Friheder, de har, men fordre dem, de ikke har; de har Tænkefrihed, de fordre Yttringsfrihed.
People are completely unreasonable. They never use the freedoms they have, but demand those they don’t have; they have freedom of thought but they demand freedom of speech. (Kierkegaard, Either-Or)
