“Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody can read."[As quoted in Literary Censorship in England (in Current Opinion, Vol. 55, No. 5, November 1913)]”
“[I]t's not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers.”
“Nobody reads a book to get to the middle.”
“The books that everybody admires are those that nobody reads.”
“In old days books were written by men of letters and read by the public. Nowadays books are written by the public and read by nobody.”
“If a book falls in the woods and nobody read it, was it ever written?”
