John Stuart Mill

Strange it is that men should admit the validity of the arguments for free speech but object to their being ‘pushed to an extreme,’ not seeing that unless the reasons are good for an extreme case, they are not good for any case.

John Stuart Mill, On Liberty (1859), Chapter 2, “Of the Liberty of Thought and Discussion.”
