There was nothing better than the feel of a real book.
“A child's parents should be able to forbid their son or daughter from reading a book of mine or anyone else's. However, those same parents should have zero control over what everyone else's kids can read.”
― Places I Never Meant to Be: Original Stories by Censored Writers
― Places I Never Meant to Be: Original Stories by Censored Writers
“Perhaps nothing is so wounding to a writer than being accused of having written something that hurts a child. Censorship is an attitude of mistrust and suspicion that seeks to deprive the human experience of mystery and complexity. But without mystery and complexity there is no wonder; there is no awe; there is no laughter.”
― Places I Never Meant to Be: Original Stories by Censored Writers
― Places I Never Meant to Be: Original Stories by Censored Writers
“That's all we writers have, anyway; our minds and imaginations. To allow censors even the tiniest space in there with us can only lead to dullness, imitation, and mediocrity.”
― Places I Never Meant to Be: Original Stories by Censored Writers
― Places I Never Meant to Be: Original Stories by Censored Writers
“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.”
― Places I Never Meant to Be: Original Stories by Censored Writers
― Places I Never Meant to Be: Original Stories by Censored Writers
“In this age of censorship I mourn the loss of books that will never be written, I mourn the voices that will be silenced--writers' voices, teachers' voices, students' voices--all because of fear. How many have resorted to self-censorship? How many are saying to themselves, "Nope ... can't write about that. Can't teach that book. Can't have that book in our collection. Can't let my student write that editorial in the school paper.”
