“To prohibit the reading of certain books is to declare the inhabitants to be either fools or slaves.”

– Claude Adrien Helvétius, French philosopher and author

Well, you know which category I think they fall into. I have long thought that the people who want to ban books are cowards. They are parents afraid to explain things to their children, preachers afraid that once their flocks begin to think for themselves, they will move on, and politicians who want to control your thoughts by controlling the information you can access. Villains and cowards.
