“Books are our windows on the world. They permit us to safely experience other lives and ways of thinking and feeling. Books give us a glimmer of the complexity and wonder of life. All this, the censor would deny us.”
Harry Mazer, Places I Never Meant to Be: Original Stories by Censored Writers

“Its my son again. Ja its Emory, God be thanked.”
Harry Mazer, Heroes Don't Run: A Novel of the Pacific War

“I struggle each day not to let the fear of the censor poison my writing. Where the censor rules, a dull sameness creeps into books.”
