Censorship Quotes

I'm opposed to censorship of any kind, especially by government. But it's plain common sense that producers should target their product with some kind of sensitivity Picture Quote #1

When you have strict censorship of the internet, young students cannot receive a full education. Their view of the world is imbalanced. There can be no true discussion of the issues Picture Quote #1

The first thing dictators do is finish free press, to establish censorship. There is no doubt that a free press is the first enemy of dictatorship Picture Quote #1

I consider the official Catholic attitude on divorce, birth control, and censorship exceedingly dangerous to mankind Picture Quote #1

I suppose that writers should, in a way, feel flattered by the censorship laws. They show a primitive fear and dread at the fearful magic of print Picture Quote #1

I think the best thing in cases of censorship or things like this is to get as much media as possible Picture Quote #1

Censorship is a strange situation. There was times when people would burn books because they didn’t like what people were doing Picture Quote #1

I am still against any kind of censorship. It’s a subject in my life that has been very important Picture Quote #1

Censorship always defeats it own purpose, for it creates in the end the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion Picture Quote #1

I do not believe in censorship, but I believe we already have censorship in what is called marketing theory, namely the only information we get in mainstream media is for profit Picture Quote #1

People must not think that all bad in man which is unleashed, the moment you impose censorship disappears from man Picture Quote #1

In any event, the proper question isn’t what a journalist thinks is relevant but what his or her audience thinks is relevant. Denying people information they would find useful because you think they shouldn’t find it useful is censorship, not journalism Picture Quote #1

What is also strange to me is that public libraries have always been in the forefront of opposing censorship Picture Quote #1

But, uh, censorship at that time said that you just absolutely couldn’t do anything involving children and so we had to go from there. I don’t remember what I changed it to. Duvall is just excellent in it Picture Quote #1

Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won’t have as much censorship because we won’t have as much fear Picture Quote #1

As to the evil which results from censorship, it is impossible to measure it, because it is impossible to tell where it ends Picture Quote #1

One of the curious things about censorship is that no one seems to want it for himself. We want censorship to protect someone else; the young, the unstable, the suggestible, the stupid. I have never heard of anyone who wanted a film banned because otherwise he might see it and be harmed Picture Quote #1

Already the writers are complaining that there is too much freedom. They need some pressure. The worse your daily life, the better your art. If you have to be careful because of oppression and censorship, this pressure produces diamonds Picture Quote #1

I’m a free speech bigot. I don’t like censorship; I just don’t think it’s a good thing Picture Quote #1

I need you to do more than survive. As writers, as revolutionaries, tell the truth, your truth in your own way. Do not buy into their system of censorship, imagining that if you drop this character or hide that emotion, you can slide through their blockades. Do not eat your heart out in the hope of pleasing them Picture Quote #1

To struggle against censorship, whatever its nature, and whatever the power under which it exists, is my duty as a writer, as are calls for freedom of the press. I am a passionate supporter of that freedom, and I consider that if any writer were to imagine that he could prove he didn’t need that freedom, then he would be like a fish affirming in public that it didn’t need water Picture Quote #1

The sooner we all learn to make a decision between disapproval and censorship, the better off society will be... Censorship cannot get at the real evil, and it is an evil in itself Picture Quote #1

Cable had a latitude to move which created less censorship and bestowed upon the artists, the writers and the creators, more liberty to create their shows Picture Quote #1

As a matter of constitutional tradition, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we presume that governmental regulation of the content of speech is more likely to interfere with the free exchange of ideas than to encourage it. The interest in encouraging freedom of expression in a democratic society outweighs any theoretical but unproven benefit of censorship Picture Quote #1

I admire some of the people on the screen today, but most of them look like everybody else. In our day we had individuality. Pictures were more sophisticated. All this nudity is too excessive and it is getting very boring. It will be a shame if it upsets people so much that it brings on the need for censorship. I hate censorship. In the cinema there’s no mystery. No privacy. And no sex, either. Most of the sex I’ve seen on the screen looks like an expression of hostility towards sex Picture Quote #1

The pressure for conformity is enormous. I have experienced it in editors’ rejection of submitted papers, based on venomous criticism of anonymous referees. The replacement of impartial reviewing by censorship will be the death of science Picture Quote #1

On things like censorship, I think everything should be allowed on television. You know, I mean anything. I don’t know who believes that anymore. Every left wing party says there should be some degree of censorship, that some things are bad taste. But it’s unjustifiable for anyone to decide what is bad taste Picture Quote #1

As a journalist, you know you are doing your job properly when you manage to upset rich, powerful and entitled people who are used to getting their own way,and you know you’ve really got under their skin when they pursue censorship, the avenue of last resort since time immemorial Picture Quote #1

The artist, viewing his fellows through his personal vision, has through the ages attempted to portray what he sees and to present his understanding of it. Censorship in his case has perpetrated heavy and sometimes reprehensible blunders Picture Quote #1

So I have no grounds to complain; on the contrary, writers should consider the condition of permanent controversiality to be invigorating, part of the risk envolved in choosing the profesión. It is a fact of life that writers have always and with due consideration and great pleasure spit in the soup of the high and mighty. That is what makes the history of literature analogous to the development and refinement of censorship Picture Quote #1
