Censorship is to art as lynching is to justice.

Summary

This quote draws a parallel between two forms of injustice: censorship in art and lynching in the realm of justice. It suggests that just as lynching is a tragic and extreme act that violates the principles of justice, censorship similarly suppresses the freedom of expression and restricts the creative potential of art. Both actions can be seen as oppressive and harmful, hindering the ability for individuals to share diverse perspectives, challenge the status quo, and contribute to a more open and equitable society.
