Famous quotes containing the word opinion:
“The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.”
—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
“Prejudice. A vagrant opinion without visible means of support.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“Where an opinion is general, it is usually correct.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
