Banned Deviants List

Any community member that is banned without a fair trial is unfairly banned.

This list is specifically for community members who managed to

document their unfair banishment before being permanently banned.  These are

the defenders of the community... these are the community members

who fight for your rights.

Censorship Quotes

Quoted

Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one.

Abbott Joseph Liebling
Freedom is when the people can speak, democracy is when the government listens. Alastair Farrugia

I am of course confident that I will fulfill my tasks as a writer in all circumstances -- from my grave even more successfully and more irrefutably than in my lifetime. No one can bar the road to truth, and to advance its cause I am prepared to accept even death. But may it be that repeated lessons will finally teach us not to stop the writer's pen during his lifetime? At no time has this ennobled our history.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Woe to that nation whose literature is cut short by the intrusion of force. This is not merely interference with freedom of the press but the sealing up of a nation's heart, the excision of its memory.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn
In countries were the doctrine of the sovereignty of the people ostensibly prevails, the censorship of the press is not only dangerous, but absurd. Alexis de Tocqueville
Intending to correct the licentiousness of the press and to restore the use of orderly language, you first try the offender by a jury; but if the jury acquits him, the opinion which was that of a single individual becomes the opinion of the whole country.  Too much and too little has therefore been done; go farther, then.  You bring the delinquent before permanent magistrates; but even here the cause must be heard before it can be decided; and the very principles which no book would have ventured to avow are blazoned forth in the pleadings, and what was obscurely hinted at in a single composition is thus repeated in a multitude of other publications.  The language is only the expression and, if I may so speak, the body of the thought, but it is not the thought itself.  Tribunals may condemn the body, but the sense, the spirit of the work is too subtle for their authority.  Too much has still been done to recede, too little to attain your end; you must go still farther.  Establish a censorship of the press.  But the tongue of the public speaker will still make itself heard, and your purpose is not yet accomplished; you have only increased the mischief.  Thought is not, like physical strength, dependent upon the number of its agents; nor can authors be counted like the troops that compose an army.  On the contrary, the authority of a principle is often increased by the small number of men by whom it is expressed.  The words of one strong-minded man addressed to the passions of a listening assembly have more power than the vociferations of a thousand orators; and if it be allowed to speak freely in any one public place, the consequences is the same as if free speaking was allowed in every village.  The liberty of speech must therefore be destroyed as well as the liberty of the press.  And now you have succeeded, everybody is reduced to silence.  But your object was to repress the abuses of liberty, and you are brought to the feet of a despot.  You have been led from the extreme of independence to the extreme of servitude without finding a single tenable position on the way at which you could stop. Alexis de Tocqueville
In this question, therefore, there is no medium between servitude and license; in order to enjoy the inestimable benefits that the liberty of the press ensures, it is necessary to submit to the inevitable evils that it creates. Alexis de Tocqueville

Books won't stay banned - Ideas won't go to jail.

Alfred Whitney Griswold

I am thankful for all the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have freedom of speech.

Alfred Whitney Griswold

Censorship in any form is the enemy of creativity, since it cuts off the life blood of creativity: ideas.

Allan Jenkins

Your own mind is a sacred enclosure into which nothing harmful can enter except by your permission.

Arnold Bennett

All truth passes through three stages: First it is ridiculed. Second it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Censorship offends me.

Author Unknown

Pontius Pilate was the first great censor and Jesus Christ the first great victim of censorship.

Ben Lindsey

Censor: A self-appointed snoophound who sticks his nose in other people's business.

Bennett Cerf

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery! None but ourselves can free our minds.

Bob Marley

This film is apparently meaningless, but if it has any meaning it is doubtless objectionable.

British Board of Film

Advertisers, not governments, are the primary censors of media content in the United States today.

C. Edwin Baker

Burning is no answer.

Camille Desmoulines

Without free speech no search for truth is possible... no discovery of truth is useful... Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day, but the denial slays the life of the people, and entombs the hope of the race.

Charles Bradlaugh

Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and others. Their fear is only their inability to face what is real. Somewhere in their upbringing they were shielded against the total facts of our experience. They were only taught to look one way when many ways exist.

Charles Bukowski

They can't censor the gleam in my eye.

Charles Laughton

Censorship, like charity, should begin at home, but unlike charity, it should end there.

Clare Boothe Luce

To limit the press is to insult a nation; to prohibit reading of certain books is to declare the inhabitants to be either fools or slaves.

Claude-Adrien Helvétius

The upshot was, my paintings must burn that English artists might finally learn.

D. H. Lawrence
The censor-moron does not hate anything but the living and growing human consciousness. . . and our consciousness in its newest, most sensitive activity, its vital growth. D. H. Lawrence

Never, 'for the sake of peace and quiet', deny your own experience or convictions.

Dag Hjalmar Agne Carl 

Hammarskjöld

The test of democracy is freedom of criticism.

David Ben-Gurion

Censors tend to do what only psychotics do: they confuse reality with illusion.

David Cronenberg

We live in oppressive times. We have, as a nation, become our own thought police; but instead of calling the process by which we limit our expression of dissent and wonder censorship, we call it concern for commercial viability.

David Mamet

We do not fear censorship for we have no wish to offend with improprieties or obscenities, but we do demand, as a right, the liberty to show the dark side of wrong, that we may illuminate the bright side of virtue -- the same liberty that is conceded to the art of the written word, that art to which we owe the Bible and the works of Shakespeare.

David Wark Griffiths
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? - Who will watch the watchers? Decimus Junius Juvenalis 
Dat veniam corvis, vexat censura columbas. - Censure acquits the raven, but pursues the dove. Decimus Junius Juvenalis

We are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked away in the past and cannot be a nuisance. In the present, amidst dangers whose outcome we cannot foresee, we get nervous about her, and admit censorship.

E. E. Cummings
Everyone has his own conscience, and there should be no rules about how a conscience should function. Ernest Hemingway

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.

Edgar Dale

He is always the severest censor of the merit of others who has the least worth of his own.

Elias Lyman Maggon

This is slavery, not to speak one's thought.

Euripedes

If we can't stamp out literature in the country, we can at least stop its being brought in from outside.

Evelyn Waugh

The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Censorship is advertising paid by the government.

Federico Fellini

For whatever deserves to exist also deserves to be known, for knowledge is the image of existence; and things mean and splendid exist alike.

Francis Bacon

We all know that books burn, yet we have the greater knowledge that books cannot be killed by fire. People die, but books never die.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored, we must redouble our efforts here to keep them free

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Vietnam was the first war ever fought without any censorship. Without censorship, things can get terribly confused in the public mind.

Gen William C. Westmoreland

Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody reads.

George Bernard Shaw

The ultimate form of censorship is assassination.

George Bernard Shaw

All censorships exist to prevent any one from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions.

George Bernard Shaw

The first condition of progress is the removal of censorship.

George Bernard Shaw
One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present. Golda Meir

A censor is a man who knows more than he thinks you ought to.

Granville Hicks
The history of literature is the history of censorship. Günther Grass

By placing discretion in the hands of an official to grant or deny a license, such a statute creates a threat of censorship that by its very existence chills free speech.

Harry A. Blackmun

You can cage the singer but not the song.

Harry Belafonte

...this is precisely the purpose of censorship- not only to block unwanted views, but to keep people who are unhappy from knowing how many millions of others share their unhappiness; to keep the dormant opposition from awakening to its own developing strength.

Hedrick Smith

Whenever books are burned men also in the end are burned.

Heinrich Heine

Instead of asking -- How much damage will the work in question bring about? why not ask -- How much good? How much joy?

Henry Miller

The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion.

Henry Steele Commager

Free speech is to a great people what winds are to oceans and malarial regions, which waft away the elements of disease, and bring new elements of health; and where free speech is stopped miasma is bred, and death comes fast.

Henry Ward Beecher

If some books are deemed most baneful and their sale forbid, how, then, with deadlier facts, not dreams of doting men? Those whom books will hurt will not be proof against events. Events, not books, should be forbid.

Herman Melville

Fear of corrupting the mind of the younger generation is the loftiest of cowardice.

Holbrook Jackson

When truth is no longer free, freedom is no longer real: the truths of the police are the truths of today.

Jacques Prevert

The danger of censorship in cultural media increases in proportion to the degree to which one approaches the winning of a mass audience.

James Farrell
I never knew a girl who was ruined by a book. James Walker

As to the evil which results from a censorship, it is impossible to measure it, for it is impossible to tell where it ends.

Jeremy Bentham

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.

John F. Kennedy

If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries. These libraries should be open to all—except the censor. We must know all the facts and hear all the alternatives and listen to all the criticisms. Let us welcome controversial books and controversial authors. For the Bill of Rights is the guardian of our security as well as our liberty.

John F. Kennedy

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.

John F. Kennedy

The internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.

John Gilmour

As good almost kill a man as kill a good book; who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were in the eye.

John Milton

Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.

John Milton

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.

John Mortimer

Censorship is the commonest social blasphemy because it is mostly concealed, built into us by indolence, self-interest, and cowardice.

John Osborne

If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.

John Stuart Mill

We can never be sure that the opinion we are endeavoring to stifle is a false opinion; and if we were sure, stifling it would be an evil still.

John Stuart Mill

The populist authoritarianism that is the downside of political correctness means that anyone, sometimes it seems like everyone, can proclaim their grief and have it acknowledged. The victim culture, every sufferer grasping for their own Holocaust, ensures that anyone who feels offended can call for moderation, for dilution, and in the end, as is all too often the case, for censorship. And censorship, that by-product of fear - stemming as it does not from some positive agenda, but from the desire to escape our own terrors and superstitions by imposing them on others - must surely be resisted.
