“In this huge old occidental culture our teaching elders are books. Books are our grandparents!”

“From all old seamy throats of elders, musty books, I've salvaged not a word.”

“Ours is a culture that dances on the edge of ephemerality. If our servers slept for too long or if we left our iPads unplugged for too long, we'd wake up like Rip Van Winkle to find all of our book culture erased.”

“Let us spend our leisure with our books, which will take our minds off these troubles, and will teach us to despise what many people desire.”

“Do not, under any circumstances, put this book down and turn on the teevee.The teevee debilitates our culture. ”

“There is nothing in our book, the Qur'an, that teaches us to suffer peacefully. Our religion teaches us to be intelligent. Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone lays a hand on you, send him to the cemetery.”
