Christine’s Quotes

“His money went largely toward books, which to him were like sacred objects, providing ballast for his mind.”
― Michelle Obama, Becoming

“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

“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.”
― Norma Fox Mazer, Places I Never Meant to Be: Original Stories by Censored Writers

“Self-censorship can be very damaging to a story. When our chief goal is not to offend someone, we are not likely to write a book that will deeply affect someone.”

“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.”
― Julius Lester, Places I Never Meant to Be: Original Stories by Censored Writers
