I'd like to meet:

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.Charter of the United Nations, Article 19

Article 10 - Nul ne doit être inquiété pour ses opinions, mêmes religieuses, pourvu que leur manifestation ne trouble pas l'ordre public établi par la loi.
Article 11 - La libre communication des pensées et des opinions est un des droits les plus précieux de l'homme ; tout citoyen peut donc parler, écrire, imprimer librement, sauf à répondre de l'abus de cette liberté dans les cas déterminés par la loi.

"Enhver er berettiget til på tryk, i skrift og tale at offentliggøre sine tanker, dog under ansvar for domstolene. Censur og andre forebyggende forholdsregler kan ingensinde på ny indføres."

2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;

""Free speech is my right to say what you don't want to hear." ~ George Orwell
"Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist" - Frederick Douglas
AN ATTACK ON ONE PERSON'S FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS AN ATTACK ON ALL FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!!!
"The only valid censorship of ideas is the right of people not to listen. ~Tommy Smothers
Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too. ~Voltaire
If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all. ~Noam Chomsky
"Freedom of speech means that you shall not do something to people either for the views they have, or the views they express, or the words they speak or write." ~Hugo L. Black, U.S. Supreme Court Justice 1963
""If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be ... The People cannot be safe without information. When the press is free, and every man is able to read, all is safe." Thomas Jefferson"

A freedom lost to one is lost to all. If the rights of society's most vulnerable members are denied, then everybody’s rights are at risk. --ACLU
"The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859
""Without free speech no search for truth is possible... no discovery of truth is useful... Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day, but the denial slays the life of the people, and entombs the hope of the race." -Charles Bradlaugh"
Censorship reflects society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime. ~Potter Stewart

"""He who would sacrifice Liberty for a little temporary security deserves neither" ~B.Franklin""
"MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN, speaking for the Court, said: "`The vigilant protection of constitutional freedoms is nowhere more vital than in the community of American schools.' Shelton v. Tucker, [ 364 U.S. 479 ,] at 487. The classroom is peculiarly the `marketplace of ideas.' The Nation's future depends upon leaders trained through wide exposure to that robust exchange of ideas which discovers truth `out of a multitude of tongues, [rather] than through any kind of authoritative selection.'"
Under our Constitution, free speech is not a right that is given only to be so circumscribed that it exists in principle but not in fact. Freedom of expression would not truly exist if the right could be exercised only in an area that a benevolent government has provided as a safe haven for crackpots. The Constitution says that Congress (and the States) may not abridge the right to free speech. This provision means what it says. We properly read it to permit reasonable regulation of speech-connected activities in carefully restricted circumstances. But we do not confine the permissible exercise of First Amendment rights to a telephone booth or the four corners of a pamphlet, or to supervised and ordained discussion in a school classroom."

Television:

If you want to know the identity of the real rulers of your society, merely ask yourself this question: Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?

Books:

"If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." -George Washington (1732 – 1799) First President of the United States
"One’s right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.” Supreme Court ruled in West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette in 1943 We have come so far in modern times, yet we continue to run around in circles chasing our tails on the most basic of human rights! One-step forward, two steps back! Unbelievable!"
