Books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.

About This Quote

Books are like family members. They are like people who can be your best friends or your worst enemies. You love them with all your heart but you don’t tell them everything, because they would make fun of you if you did. Burning books is not the right thing to do.

They were meant to be read and enjoyed by many people. You wouldn’t want someone to do that to one of your family members, would you?
