“Books are an intimate art form…the way books work is they are necessarily a union between the imagination of the reader and the words that are on the page. Everyone’s experience with a book is different.”
― Ta-Nehisi Coates

“No government ought to be without censors: and where the press is free, no one ever will. If virtuous, it need not fear the fair operation of attack and defence. Nature has given to man no other means of sifting out the truth either in religion, law, or politics. I think it as honorable to the government neither to know, nor notice, it’s sycophants or censors, as it would be undignified and criminal to pamper the former and persecute the latter.”
― Thomas Jefferson, The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Vol. 24: 1 June-31 December 1792
