For all its evolutionary qualities, questions must be raised about the path literature will take on the web. Will it simply be segregated from visual art forms because literature requires a longer commitment? Do aspiring writers of various fictions bring this on themselves, living silently in the shadow of the colossus that is the literary industry?” ~ Aaron Grierson, Phasing Through The Ink, Winter 2013

“Apologists, who consider censorship as important as airport security measures, are perhaps ignorant of the literary wealth they are refusing the world. Censorship is counterproductive to art – the artist strives to create, censorship aims to destruct.” ~ Sana Hussain, Literature & Censorship: A Tainted History, Winter 2013

“It is the “reading experience” that may well be this generation’s greatest loss in the wake of a digital invasion. It is the loss of experiencing and interpreting sentences such as “I knew damn well I would never be a movie star. It’s too hard; and if you are intelligent, it’s too embarrassing.” ~ Maria Amir, Adapting the Classics, Winter 2013
