Stephen FryI am a lover of truth, a worshiper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.
About This Quote
We all have a right to our opinions, but what makes a person a lover of truth is how they stand up for the things they believe in. It’s also important to have compassion for those whose opinions differ from your own. And, if you truly want to be a worshiper of freedom, then you need to defend that which is being threatened as well as those who are being oppressed. And, if you want to celebrate the power of words and the importance of language, then you should never use words that are demeaning to another person.
