Susan Sontag, Death Kit (originally published 1967)

Kill the censor in your head.

And something else to think about: A time will come when the writers / artmakers of the not-too-distant future will look back at our “modern” day and shake their heads and say, “wow, look at the way they were, could they even see/hear themselves? WTF.” Don’t assume that just because you’re working in a time when you’re trying to get things more right than in the theoretically less-moral past, that your time has it right either. Human beings, and the art they make, are by definition works in process. Keep your eyes open for the ways in which your work may need not only to surpass the errors of the past, but avoid and correct those of the popular present.
