"Self-censorship is a lie to yourself; if you are going to be trying to seriously create art, to create literary art, and you decide to hold back, to censor yourself, then you are a fool to yourself and it would be better that you kept your mouth shut and did not speak."

— Salman Rushdie

Previous Quote

Quite frankly, I think political correctness is the worst form of censorship. You're not allowed to speak your mind unless you're black, or unless you're a terrorist, or unless you're an Arab or a minority people. Then you can say what you like. But if you are like a lot of us you are not supposed to say certain things.

— Wilbur Smith

Next Quote

Censorship is the thing that stops you doing what you want to do, and what writers want to talk about is what they do, not what stops them doing it.
