"Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen"

- Warren E. Burger

About this Quote

This quote by Warren E. Burger talks to the importance of eavesdroping order to genuinely understand and appreciate totally free speech. Free speech is an essential right that allows us to express our thoughts and opinions without worry of censorship or retribution. However, it is inadequate to simply have the ability to reveal ourselves; we should also want to listen to the thoughts and viewpoints of others. Listening is a crucial part of the free speech procedure, as it allows us to gain a better understanding of various perspectives and to engage in meaningful dialogue. Without the flexibility to listen, totally free speech would be incomplete and inefficient. For that reason, it is essential to remember that free speech carries with it the flexibility to listen.
