John Adams Zitate

When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.

John Adams

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wenn Menschen von der Freiheit des Schreibens, Sprechens oder Denkens sprechen, kann ich mich nicht entscheiden, sondern lachen. So etwas gab es nie. So etwas existiert jetzt nicht; aber ich hoffe es wird existieren. Aber es muss Hunderte von Jahren nach dir sein und ich werde nicht mehr schreiben und sprechen.
