�The question now is: Can we understand our stupidity? This is a test of intellect, not of character.�
- John King Fairbank (1907 � 1991), American historian and educator: quoted in �The Observer� (London), May 4, 1975.
�We are more afraid of being pretentious than of being dishonest.�
- Stephen Fry (b. 1957), British comic actor and author: quoted in �The Guardian� (London), Dec 31, 1994.
�The MacDworkinite idea that pornography is violence against women insults the many women who experience actual, brutal, three-dimensional violence in their real lives� I certainly would like nothing better than to find a simple, fast route to equality and safety for women. But censoring sexual speech is really a detour or, worse, a dead end.�
- Nadine Strossen , American civil rights lawyer and author: referring to the anti-pornography stance of Andrea Dworkin and Catharine MacKinnon, in �Defending Pornography�, 1995.
