Summary

This quote emphasizes the detrimental effect of censorship and the suppression of literature on a nation. It suggests that when a nation's literature is forcefully restricted or controlled, it not only infringes upon freedom of the press but also stifles the nation's soul and erases its collective memory. The intrusion of force to limit literature not only hampers creativity and expression but also hinders the preservation of a nation's history, culture, and identity. In essence, it underlines the importance of safeguarding freedom of thought and the powerful impact that literature can have on a society.
