“Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.” ― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own
Even though we can close all the libraries, we can not lock up the freedom of the human mind. Because books can influence thought, book-burners and censors try to eviscerate our libraries, supposedly for our own good.
Books open minds and spread the teaching of a true education. No wonder the politicians try to dumb us down with modern "bread and circuses".
Long live the Library, Long live the freedom of the mind. Thank you Virginia for seeding the thought. Your words live on...
