This is a free country. Folks have a right to send me letters, and I have a right not to read them.

Perhaps they were right in putting love into books, . . . Perhaps it could not live anywhere else.

The governor appreciates the fact the NLDC has done the right thing and sent out this new round of letters. It was unfortunate it had to come to this.

Public security bureaus across the country received more than 200,000 letters and visits from citizens who had grievances to air during the four months, and 180,000 of them have been dealt with.

I've gotten letters, but mostly from Bible-belt types who say, you must be Satan! They come right out and call me Satan and hope that I'm damned to hell.

I don't have words for this. The letters and notes I'm getting from around the country - the musicians in this country are shocked. They are floored by this decision. It upsets the world that we live in.
