Banned

"The problem in our country isn't with books being banned, but with people no longer reading. Look at the magazines, the newspapers around us--it's all junk, all trash, tidbits of news. The average TV ad has 120 images a minute. Everything just falls off your mind...  You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them."
--Ray Bradbury,
As quoted in "Bradbury Still Believes in Heat of ‘Fahrenheit 451’", interview by Misha Berson, in The Seattle Times (March 12, 1993)
