"Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody reads."
"All censorships exist to prevent anyone from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorship."
"Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself."
"The Internet treats censorship as a defect and routes around it."
"If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all."
