Even a book can be dangerous in the wrong hands, and when that happens, you blame the hands, but you also read the book.

About This Quote

The fact that even a book can be dangerous means that even something as innocuous as a book can have the power to destroy lives. Not only can it be dangerous, but it can also be used to promote harm. It is possible to take one small book and use it to cause mass harm. It is also possible for a single book to contain untold wisdom contained within its pages.

The way the quote is written implies that people should not read anything they are not prepared for. If you are not prepared for the potential of danger you could find yourself harmed by something as innocent as a book written by someone else or just something you have heard of being very dangerous.
