Here are some quotations, mostly about censorship, from my former website:

All censorships exist to prevent anyone from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorship. - George Bernard Shaw

Freedom means self-fulfillment. It also means putting up with other people's irritating pursuit of the same. It means being confronted by disturbing images and ideas. - Wendy McElroy

The real disturbers of the peace are those who, in a free state, seek to curtail the liberty of judgment which they are unable to tyrannize over. - Baruch Spinoza

But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing. - Andrew Jackson

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! - Patrick Henry

The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty. - John Adams

Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding. - Louis Brandeis

The right to be let alone is indeed the beginning of all freedom. - William O. Douglas

Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it. - attributed to Mark Twain

An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all. - Oscar Wilde

No government has the right to decide on the truth of scientific principles, nor to prescribe in any way the character of the questions investigated. Neither may a government determine the aesthetic value of artistic creations, nor limit the forms of literacy or artistic expression. Nor should it pronounce on the validity of economic, historic, religious, or philosophical doctrines. Instead it has a duty to its citizens to maintain the freedom, to let those citizens contribute to the further adventure and the development of the human race. - Richard Feynman

Every valuable human being must be a radical and a rebel, for what he must aim at is to make things better than they are. -Niels Bohr

I'm sure I've unintentionally left out many good quotes relevant to censorship. If anyone else has some, feel free to post them.

Thanks,
Ron Spain

ok as i have said we DO NOT censorship your sites as long as you follow our TOS. if you break our TOS, then we will suspend the account

I have serious doubts about that, but we'll just agree to disagree, and I'll leave you with some more quotes:

As to the evil which results from a censorship, it is impossible to measure it, for it is impossible to tell where it ends. - Jeremy Bentham

The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion. - Henry Steele Commager

The only valid censorship of ideas is the right of people not to listen. - Tommy Smothers

Censorship reflects society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime. - Potter Stewart

We have a natural right to make use of our pens as of our tongue, at our peril, risk and hazard. - Voltaire

Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too. - Voltaire

Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only weapon against bad ideas is better ideas. - Alfred Whitney Griswold

Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one. - Abbott Joseph Liebling

To reject the word is to reject the human search. - Max Lerner

Nature knows no indecencies; man invents them. - Mark Twain

What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me. Now they are content with burning my books. - Sigmund Freud

Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings. - Heinrich Heine, Almansor

Every burned book enlightens the world. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The paper burns, but the words fly away. - Akiba ben Joseph

Did you ever hear anyone say, "That work had better be banned because I might read it and it might be very damaging to me?" - Joseph Henry Jackson

Obscenity is not a quality inherent in a book or picture, but is solely and exclusively a contribution of the reading mind, and hence cannot be defined in terms of the qualities of a book or picture. - Theodore Schroeder

Censorship feeds the dirty mind more than the four-letter word itself. - Dick Cavett

If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind. - John Stuart Mill

To choose a good book, look in an inquisitor’s prohibited list. - John Aikin

To limit the press is to insult a nation; to prohibit reading of certain books is to declare the inhabitants to be either fools or slaves. - Claude-Adrien Helvétius

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. - John F. Kennedy

God forbid that any book should be banned. The practice is as indefensible as infanticide. - Rebecca West

If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all. - Noam Chomsky

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. - Evelyn Beatrice Hall

Look if you want to leave then leave, you are the only person who says that they are going to leave and is still staying on here

Actually, I had left precisely when I said I was going to leave. How did even that manage to confuse you? Now, I'm back because you've continued to run your mouth. I don't recall asking for your input in this thread, so unless you want to offer some quotes, your posts are off-topic. There's another thread for discussing Zymic's censorship. Now I would like to leave this forum for good if you can kindly shut up. Thank you, and please do have a nice day.

Ron Spain

yea your not going to get me to shut up at all so nice try on that and its up to you if you want to come back or not then its all up to you. now im responding to this post cause im a trusted hosting support member and i know what goes on with Zymic. i dont know who said that we censorship people on sites hosted on Zymic but they are wrong unless they break the TOS

Censorship is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient to the general body of people as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body.

The real disturbers of the peace are those who, in a free state, seek to curtail the liberty of judgment which they are unable to tyrannize over. - Baruch Spinoza.
