Famous quotes containing the words free, speech and/or concerns:

    Russian women all have something free and large about them.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    I love eulogies. They are the most moving kind of speech because they attempt to pluck meaning from the fog, and on short order, when the emotions are still ragged and raw and susceptible to leaps.
    Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)

    Much unhappiness comes from walking alone. When there are several, it’s somewhat different. I must get into the habit of listening to others, for what the others say concerns me, too.
    Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
