GoodReads' PTB have lost their collective minds. And in banned books week in the US.
What could be more ironic?
In honor of events, a few of my favorite censorship quotes:
"Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it." - Mark Twain
"Censorship of anything, at any time, in any place, on whatever pretense, has always been and always will be the last resort of the boob and the bigot." - Eugene O'Neill
"When truth is replaced by silence, the silence is a lie." - Yevgeny Yevtushenko
