Censor Quotations
Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor - over each other.
Thomas Jefferson
Both the American people and nations that censor the internet should understand that our government is committed to helping promote internet freedom.
Hillary Clinton
A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.
Spike Lee
The worst thing you can do is censor yourself as the pencil hits the paper. You must not edit until you get it all on paper. If you can put everything down, stream-of-consciousness, you'll do yourself a service.
Stephen Sondheim
Once you permit those who are convinced of their own superior rightness to censor and silence and suppress those who hold contrary opinions, just at that moment the citadel has been surrendered.
Archibald MacLeish

Eva Mendes
A censor is an expert in cutting remarks. A censor is a man who knows more than he thinks you ought to.
Laurence J. Peter
I think the enemy is self-censorship. In a free society the biggest danger is that you're afraid to the point where you censor yourself.
Tim Robbins
Poets have to be sensitive to their audience, but it does not mean that they censor themselves. I realise my audience is diverse. Some will read with empathy and curiosity while others will take offense.
John Barton
