Laurie Halse Anderson
“The school board banned one of Maya Angelou's books, so the librarian had to take down her poster.

I fished it out of the trash.

She must be a great writer if the school board is scared of her.”
Laurie Halse Anderson, Speak: The Graphic Novel

Jonas Salzgeber
“At all times, we need to focus on the things we control, and take the rest as it happens.”
Jonas Salzgeber, The Little Book of Stoicism: Timeless Wisdom to Gain Resilience, Confidence, and Calmness

Eden Robinson
“You honkies want women to be like cookies, all sweet and dainty and easy to eat. But I'm fry bread, you bitch, and I'm proud of it.”

Judy Blume
“Censors don’t want children exposed to ideas different from their own. If every individual with an agenda had his/her way, the shelves in the school library would be close to empty.”
Judy Blume

James    Howe
“Banning books is just another form of bullying. It's all about fear and an assumption of power. The key is to address the fear and deny the power.”
James Howe
