[close] Books are the gateways that allow the individual to travel outside of their immediate walls, find a new community, travel outside of that community and temporarily become someone else with the entire weight of empathy and gravity of existence. Books are advisers and adversaries. Books are guides both internal and external. Books exist to paint you as both the victim and the perpetrator, the starring role and the supporting cast member, the hero and the villain simultaneously. Let us be good stewards of their true value and carry them forward into times of both uncertainty and times of peace.
