Speech is
human nature itself, with none of the artificiality of
written language.
-- Alfred North Whitehead
1861-1947, British
Mathematician, Philosopher
Speech is the
twin of my vision, it is unequal to measure itself, it
provokes me forever, it says sarcastically, Walt you contain
enough, why don't you let it out then?
-- Walt Whitman
1819-1892, American Poet
Many great
writers have been extraordinarily awkward in daily exchange,
but the greatest give the impression that their style was
nursed by the closest attention to colloquial speech.
-- Thornton Wilder
1897-1975, American Novelist,
Playwright
I have always
been among those who believed that the greatest freedom of
speech was the greatest safety, because if a man is a fool
the best thing to do is to encourage him to advertise the
fact by speaking.
-- Woodrow T. Wilson
1856-1924, Twenty-eighth
President of the USA
