"The fact is we are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked away in the past and cannot be a nuisance. In the present, amidst dangers whose outcome we cannot foresee, we get nervous about her, and admit censorship." — E.M. Forster (1879-1970), British author, in "The Tercentenary of the Areopagitica" (1944)
