Could someone help me out?
I need to find two short stories based on a theme of ensorship or political correctness similar to that of Ray Bradburry's F451. If someone could give me some suggestions for stories like that and possibly where to find them I'd really appreciate it.

P.S. Although this probably won't interest you I have to get 5 or 6 quotes from each story proving their themes are censorship.

By the way, a good example of a similar story is pillar of fire. I'd use that as one of the two if I could get my hands on it.

The Smile can be found in "A Medicine for Melancholy" and To the Chicago Abyss is in "The Machineries of Joy."

You might also consider The Pedestrian from "The Golden Apples of the Sun" and Usher II from "The Martian Chronicles." Both of these stories were precursors to "F 451."
