Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Woe to that nation whose literature is cut short by the intrusion of force. This is not merely interference with freedom of the press but the sealing up of a nation’s heart, the excision of its memory.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Nobel lecture (1970), as quoted in TIME (February 25, 1974).
