There are few finer or more innocent pleasures than talking books to one who knows. There may be joy in heaven- I am told there is- but the evidence is not conclusive, and I'll take mine here in my library.

A. Edward Newton
About This Quote

A library is a place for people to escape and be themselves. There is no other place in the world where people can forget for a moment about all the troubles in their lives. People can discover new things and learn new things. Books are what give people the freedom to discover the world around them and other people.

The discovery of reading books was what allowed humans to create such wonderful things as paper, pencils, and computers. However, we must also remember that books can also be used to do harm, especially if we only read the ones we want to read.
