Where they burn books, they eventually burn people

"Where they burn books, they eventually burn people.

Where they attack clothes, they eventually attack people.

Where they ban eating and drinking, they eventually ban people.

And there is absolutely no end to it. No one is left untouched.

It is interesting that some people do not seem to understand this. The day the first book is banned that hurt your feelings, the wheels are in motion to ban something for *you*"


Heinrich Heine, Almansor, 1821
