Dear and most respected bookcase! I welcome your existence, which has for over one hundred years been devoted to the radiant ideals of goodness and justice.

About This Quote

In this quote, the bookcase is a symbol of the power of books by their very nature. Books can be a source of knowledge and enlightenment for all people, imparting truth and morality to the world. Furthermore, they are written by some of the greatest minds in history, providing inspiration and motivation to anyone who reads them. Without books, we would be lost and our world would fall into darkness and despair.

Even with books, however, we still struggle with issues such as racism and violence that plague our society. People treat each other with prejudice because they haven’t been exposed to different ideas. As such, books can play a crucial role in changing people’s perspective on these issues.
