“La vita va veloce: this life goes fast, much faster than time.’ ”
Liane Moriarty, Here One Moment

“I understand that some parents don't want their teens to read about sex. Those parents need to police their own children's reading and stop policing mine.”
Amanda Jones, That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America

“In the words of author Stephen Chbosky: "Banning books gives us silence when we need speech. It closes our ears when we need to listen. It makes us blind when we need sight.”
Amanda Jones, That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America

“You know who we really posed a threat to? Herr Hitler,” said Reka. “Who do you think were some of the first people he rounded up and arrested? The Communists and Socialists, that’s who. The ones telling everyone he and his Brownshirts were a threat back when boys like you were saying America First and At least these fascists make the trains run on time! A little history for you, Mr. Adams.”
Kate Quinn, The Briar Club

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“Public libraries seem to me a powerful example of the way that gift economies can coexist with market economies, at a larger scale. . . To me, they embody the civic-scale practice of a gift economy and the notion of common property. Libraries are models of gift economies, providing free access not only to books but also music, tools, seeds, and more. We don't each. have to own everything. The books at the library belong to everyone, serving the public with free books. . . Take the books, enjoy them, bring them back so someone else can enjoy them, with literary abundance for all. And all you need is a library card, which is a kind of agreement to respect and take care of the common good.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World
