“A Little Learning,” speech, Phillips Academy, Andover (1952, Spring) - Griswold, Whitney | WIST Quotations
Books won’t stay banned. They won’t burn. Ideas won’t go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas. Reprinted in The Atlantic Monthly (1952-11) and Griswold's Essays in Education (1954).
