• Intellectual freedom is essential -- freedom to obtain and distribute information, freedom for open-minded and unfearing debate and freedom from pressure by officialdom and prejudices. Such freedom of thought is the only guarantee against an infection of people by mass myths, which, in the hands of treacherous hypocrites and demagogues, can be transformed into bloody dictatorship.

• Nada amenaza tanto la libertad de la personalidad y el sentido de la vida como la guerra, la pobreza, el terror. Pero también hay peligros indirectos y sólo un poco más remotos. Uno de ellos es el embrutecimiento del hombre (la "masa gris", por utilizar el cínico término de los pronosticadores burgueses) por la cultura de masas, con su intencionada o comercialmente motivada rebaja del nivel intelectual y del contenido, con su énfasis en el entretenimiento o el utilitarismo, y con su censura cuidadosamente protectora.
