Justice Thurgood Marshall Quote

Quote from Justice Thurgood Marshall,

"If the First Amendment means anything,
it means that a state has no business telling a man, sitting alone in his own house,
what books he may read or what films he may watch.
Our whole constitutional heritage rebels at the thought
of giving government the power to control men's minds."
