The truth is a cleansing fire which burns away the lies we’ve told each other and the lies we’ve told ourselves. So that love and hate, pleasure and pain, can all be expressed without shame. Where there is no good or bad, there is only the truth.
In every library, there is a single book to answer the question that burns like a fire in the mind.
A library is like an island in a vast sea of ignorance.
Where’s the one place nobody ever looks? The room with the books. Nobody cares about the room with the books.
The plebs love liberty. In your name, they…[Gaius Cassius Longinus]They would not pluck a hair for liberty. Plebs like to see their betters fight. It’s cheaper than theater and the blood is real.[Marcus Junius Brutus]
Libraries represent the very best of civilized society, the housing of an egalitarian access to knowledge. It’s what separates us from the apes.
