Censorship Quotes:

If the press is not free, if speech is not independent and untrammeled, if the mind is shackled or made impotent through fear, it makes no difference under what form of government you live, you are a subject and not a citizen. -William E. Borah

The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame. '''-Oscar Wilde

The First Amendment:'''

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Censorship is the control of information that is released. Parts of the information may have been deleted or the information totally destroyed.

-	The government edits and/or deletes parts of books
