    10 Unforgettable Banned Books

    In recognition of Banned Books Week, we looked at what a few of the most frequently challenged science fiction and fantasy books had to say about the tyranny of censorship and the importance of literature. Here are some of our favorite quotes! If you feel so inclined, please seek out one of these challenged books or explore other works by these authors. The choice is yours after-all!

    “When they give you lined paper, write the other way.”

    "It is my belief... that the truth is generally preferable to lies."

    "If everything's the same, then there are no choices! I want to wake up in the morning and DECIDE things!”

    “But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.”

    “Every little increase in human freedom has been fought over ferociously between those who want us to know more and be wiser and stronger, and those who want us to obey and be humble and submit.”

    “Whatever is silenced will clamor to be heard, though silently.”

    “We all have the right to be different, don't we?”

    “A book, too, can be a star, “explosive material, capable of stirring up fresh life endlessly,” a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.”

    "There are so many doors to open. I am impatient to begin."

    "There is no beginning, no middle, no end, no suspense, no moral, no causes, no effects. What we love in our books are the depths of many marvelous moments seen all at one time."
