Censorship defeats the right to self determination.
Billy Forbes
Image
Censorship has kind of disappeared in a way because everything is accessible online.
Cliff Martinez
Image
Censorship makes me really angry. I even hate it when people censor themselves.
Emma Stone
Image
Censorship is advertising paid by the government.
Federico Fellini
Image
Censorship may be useful for the preservation of morality, but can never be so for its restoration.
G. D. H. Cole
Image
Censorship is saying: I'm the one who says the last sentence. Whatever you say, the conclusion is mine. But the internet is like a tree that is growing. The people will always have the last word – even if someone has a very weak, quiet voice. Such power will collapse because of a whisper.
Ai Weiwei
Image
Censorship is to art as lynching is to justice.
Henry Louis Gates
Image
Censorship always defeats it own purpose, for it creates in the end the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion.
Henry Steele Commager
Image
Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.
Mark Twain
Image
Censorship, I believe, is the most dangerous enemy to all human communication, and piety of intention is probably the most dangerous, the most virulent and the most self-satisfying.
Chuck Jones
Image
Censorship laws are blunt instruments, not sharp scalpels. Once enacted, they are easily misapplied to merely unpopular or only marginally dangerous speech.
Alan Dershowitz
Image
Censorship, in my opinion, is a stupid and shallow way of approaching the solution to any problem.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
Censorship is all around us, I don't think it's innate.
Alice Mattison
Image
Censorship is always cause for celebration. It is always an opportunity because it reveals fear of reform. It means that the power position is so weak that you have got to care what people think.
Julian Assange
Image
Censorship is not an occupation that attracts intelligent, subtle minds. Censors can and often have been outwitted. But the game of slipping Aesopian messages past the censor is ultimately a sterile one, diverting writers from their proper task.
J. M. Coetzee
Image
Censorship is the thing that stops you doing what you want to do, and what writers want to talk about is what they do, not what stops them doing it.
Salman Rushdie
Image
Censorship does not interfere with the constitutional rights of every American to sit alone in a dark room in the nude and cuss.
Pat Paulsen
Image
Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime.
Potter Stewart
Image
When you have strict censorship of the internet, young students cannot receive a full education. Their view of the world is imbalanced. There can be no true discussion of the issues.
Ai Weiwei
Image
It [defending Salmon Rushdie] was, if I can phrase it like this, a matter of everything I hated versus everything I loved. In the hate column: dictatorship, religion, stupidity, demagogy, censorship, bullying and intimidation. In the love column: literature, irony, humor, the individual and the defense of free expression.
Christopher Hitchens
Image
It seems now that the place where you see the most obvious censorship is on college campuses -- the precise place where you would expect to see the least.
Alan Charles Kors
Image
We live in an age where there is both more expression and more self-censorship than existed even a decade ago. Alas, laws have immunized internet carriers from many of the usual rules that govern public dialogue. Rights must always stay ahead of technology to assure that constitutional protections apply to all forms of communication.
Alan Dershowitz
Image
If [domain seizure] isn't direct censorship, I don't know what is.
Dan Gillmor
Image
In a perfect world, there would be no censorship, because there would be no judgement.
Alanis Morissette
