Sentiment: POSITIVE
Censorship is a strange situation. There was times when people would burn books because they didn't like what people were doing.
I am still against any kind of censorship. It's a subject in my life that has been very important.
I am seriously opposed to censorship of any sort.
As a big user of public libraries, I deplore the cutbacks they have had to sustain.
Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and from others. Their fear is only their inability to face what is real, and I can't vent any anger against them; I only feel this appalling sadness. Somewhere in their upbringing, they were shielded against the total facts of our existence.
Censorship of ideas or images or words is wrong.
Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever.
I worry about censorship in many parts of the world.
Without censorship, things can get terribly confused in the public mind.
The prime goal of censorship is to promote ignorance, whether it is done via lying and bowdlerized school texts or by attacking individual books.
