Universal Language
<p><em>Scientific Outlook</em> (1931) by Bertrand Russell, page 221:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> There will, of course, be a universal language, which will be either Esperanto or pidgin-English. The literature of the past will for the most part not be translated into this language, since its outlook and emotional background will be considered unsettling: serious students of history will be able to obtain a permit from the government to study such works as <em>Hamlet</em> and <em>Othello</em>, but the general public will be forbidden access to them on the ground that they glorify private murder; boys will not be allowed to read books about pirates or Red Indians; love themes will be discouraged on the ground that love, being anarchic, is silly, if not wicked. </p>
