“Fear is a jailer… People who have power are often afraid to lose it, and books are the greatest power- they are the culmination of many lifetimes. They grant access to worlds/dreams/thoughts/wisdom beyond what a person can possibly experience in the span of their own years. Whoever has books has the power to be greater than themselves, to connect [to all who’ve] come before and draw strength from them.”
