The condition
every art requires is, not so much freedom from restriction,
as freedom from adulteration and from the intrusion of
foreign matter.
-- Willa Cather
1876-1947, American Author
Censors tend
to do what only psychotics do: they confuse reality with
illusion.
-- David Cronenberg
1943-, Canadian Filmmaker
One of the
curious things about censorship is that no one seems to want
it for himself. We want censorship to protect someone else;
the young, the unstable, the suggestible, the stupid. I have
never heard of anyone who wanted a film banned because
otherwise he might see it and be harmed.
-- Edgar Dale
Every burned
book or house enlightens the world; every suppressed or
expunged word reverberates through the earth from side to
side.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803-1882, American Poet,
Essayist
