An idea from On Liberty

Silencing an idea robs everyone, including the people who reject it. If the idea is right, they lose the chance to swap an error for a truth. If it’s wrong, they lose the clearer view of the truth that comes from watching it beat the error.

From On Liberty by John Stuart Mill
