All THOMAS JEFFERSON Quotes about “Censorship”

“Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.”
“I am opposed to any form of tyranny over the mind of man.”
“Whose foot is to be the measure to which ours are all to be cut or stretched?”
“It is an insult to our citizens to question whether they are rational beings or not, and blasphemy against religion to suppose it cannot stand the test of truth and reason.”
“Are we to have a censor whose imprimatur shall say what books may be sold, and what we may buy? And who is thus to dogmatize religious opinions for our citizens? Whose foot is to be the measure to which ours are all to be cut or stretched? Is a priest to be our inquisitor, or shall a layman, simple as ourselves, set up his reason as the rule of what we are to read, and what we must believe?”
