Your right

[Annlinda]

How does the quotation go ....I don't agree with your view/opinion but would fight for your right to express it.

Thanks

Voltaire reputedly said: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to
say it."

[Annlinda]

That was quick. Thank you very much its been bugging me all day

Wikiquote has Evelyn Beatrice Hall, author of The Friends of Voltaire, as the source of this quote.

That's why I said "reputedly", X.

[Xollob]

Quizmaster, your answer is technically correct, of course: Voltaire has been reputed on many occasions to have said these words. I just don't think it's fair that you get three stars and I don't get any!

[Xollob]

Sorry - Quizmonster. Aaaargh.

[Annlinda]

there you go Xollob I've given you some stars. Thanx to everyone

[Quizmonster]

Dear X, the questioner, Annlinda, did not ask who said the words, only what the words were. I just chucked in the 'Voltaire' as an optional extra!

You were, of course, perfectly right to draw attention to the actual source and I'm delighted to see that the lady has graciously rewarded you appropriately for it! Cheers
