It is not our neighbor's right to determine those values for us. It is each individuals, not the greater whole, who must be the sole arbiter of selection and censorship. We are the protectors of their rights to intellectual pursuit and intellectual freedom. Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind.
Books are humanity in print.
As one can see from this very small sampling of quotes, this work would be an excellent tool in the ever constant goal to provide pathways to intellectual freedom. Librarians would find the contents of this work inspiring, whether in a time of crisis or in expanding one's own knowledge base in preparation for potential challenges.
