About This Quote
I’d volunteer to go to prison, as long as there are books. Because with books I am free. -Khalil Gibran  In the original Arabic, this quote means, "I would rather go to prison than be without my books." The book is also a symbol of knowledge and enlightenment. It is the one thing that keeps us from being trapped in a world of ignorance. When we read a book, our eyes become opened and we learn something new about ourselves and the world around us.
