‘Censorship is the Mother of Metaphor’ — Jorge Luis Borges Quote Tee | RQuéV Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Classic Tee

“Censorship is the mother of metaphor.” Borges lost his library post under Perón in the late 1940s and watched friends jailed over a slogan, so he meant this almost literally: forbid the plain word and a writer invents a sharper, sideways one. Constraint, in his account, breeds invention — the muzzle teaches the tongue to be clever.
