“What forests of laurel we bring, and the tears of mankind, to those who stood firm against the opinion of their contemporaries!”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Maltese society, did not tolerate what was out of the norm. Censorship, was part of the country's ( Malta 2010) mentality.”
Ingram Bondin
“People who joined the protest against censorship, believed that no one had the right to say what they could read or watch.”
“One's right to express oneself is a basic freedom.”
“Do not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
Dylan Thomas
“Never do anything against conscience, even if the state demands it”
Albert Einstein
“A man or woman convinced against his or her will, is a disbeliever still.”
