“The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.”

“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.

― Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

“Don't let the bastards grind you down.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale
