“It would probably not have occurred to anyone to cut money on street lighting or garbage disposal, which are undoubtedly vital functions for the modern city. And the regular, steady flow of printed information wouldn't be vital? ... Radical curtailments of means of purchasing books, as they are currently reported across the country from the Federal Republic, are politically foolish, yes, even more, irresponsible ... The deletion of means of purchasing books is the result of a censorship by the red pen. "
