“In books I found explicitly, flamboyantly, everything censored in life.”
“Readers, censors know, are defined by the books they read.”
“Do Italians tell you everything they feel without censor?”
“To change one’s life: 1. Start immediately. 2. Do it flamboyantly. 3. No exceptions.”
“I have found in life that everything, no matter how bad, comes to an end.”
“Censors never go after books unless kids already like them. I don’t even think they know to go after books until they know that children are interested in reading this book, therefore there must be something in it that’s wrong.”
