Quote of the Day
“To vest a few fallible men — prosecutors, judges, jurors — with vast powers
of literary or artistic censorship, to convert them into what J.S. Mill called
the “moral police” is to make them despotic arbiters of literary products… If
one day they ban mediocre books as obscene, another day they may do otherwise
to a work of a genius. Originality, not too plentiful, should be cherished, not
stifled. An author’s imagination may be cramped if he must write with an eye on
prosecutors or juries…”
— Jerome D. Frank
