• 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.

• Defender a Salmon Rushdie] era, si puedo expresarlo así, una cuestión de todo lo que odiaba frente a todo lo que amaba.
