Oscar Wilde
“A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing.”
Oscar Wilde

Ambrose Bierce
“The covers of this book are too far apart.”
Ambrose Bierce

Frank Zappa
“If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.”
Frank Zappa

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.

So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.”
Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

Ray Bradbury
“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”
Ray Bradbury
