Censorship is advertising paid by the government. – Federico Fellini
What is an artist? A provincial who finds himself somewhere between a physical reality and a metaphysical one. Its this in-between…this frontier country between the tangible world and the intangible one — which is really the realm of the artist. – Federico Fellini
Cinema is an old whore, like circus and variety, who knows how to give many kinds of pleasure. Besides, you cant teach old fleas new dogs. – Federico Fellini
One of the curious things about censorship is that no one seems to want it for himself. We want censorship to protect someone else; the young, the unstable, the suggestible, the stupid. I have never heard of anyone who wanted a film banned because otherwise he might see it and be harmed. – Edgar Dale
