• La escritura política de nuestro tiempo consiste casi exclusivamente en frases prefabricadas atornilladas como las piezas del mecano de un niño. Es el resultado inevitable de la autocensura. Para escribir en un lenguaje claro y vigoroso hay que pensar sin miedo, y si se piensa sin miedo no se puede ser políticamente ortodoxo.

• Los académicos, que se enorgullecen de decir lo que piensan, a menudo practican una forma de autocensura que se denomina "realismo". Ser "realista" al abordar un problema es trabajar sólo entre las alternativas que proponen los más poderosos de la sociedad. Es como si todos estuviéramos confinados a a, b, c o d en el examen de opción múltiple, cuando sabemos que hay otra respuesta posible. La sociedad estadounidense, aunque tiene más libertad de expresión que la mayoría de las sociedades del mundo, establece así límites más allá de los cuales se supone que la gente respetable no puede pensar ni hablar.

• I have a really good idea of who my readers are and always write with a sensitivity to my audience. I use the F word when necessary, but there are words I won't use, mainly because I don't like them. I don't write about body parts when I write about sex. It's not about the physiological, it's more important for teens to read about the emotional aspects. I do think there are times when self-censorship is important.

• A veces creo que hay que intentar hacer cosas que la gente no cree que se puedan hacer. Recuerdo que al principio, la primera persona a la que tuve que convencer fue a mí mismo, porque existe la autocensura.
