Robert A. Heinlein

censorship, n,

The whole principle is wrong. It’s like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can’t have steak.

Robert A. Heinlein, The Man Who Sold the Moon (1951), p. 188.

This quotation is reminiscent of one often misattributed to Mark Twain:

Censorship is telling a man he can’t have a steak just because a baby can’t chew it.
