Simone Weil

The human soul has need of truth and of freedom of expression. 
The need for truth requires that intellectual culture should be universally accessible, and that it should be able to be acquired in an environment neither physically remote nor psychologically alien.

Simone Weil, Draft for a Statement of Human Obligation (1943).
