“Words have power. They are the way we pass along history and knowledge and thoughts and ideas. Sometimes conflicting ideas about the same subject. Books - real books like the one in your hands - give everyone equal access to those ideas. Limit the words people can see and you limit their power. Limit the words heard on the news and you shrink people's understanding of the world to what you want them to see. [...] Is it really a choice if you aren't able to see all the options?”
― Joelle Charbonneau, Verify
