“A circulating library in a town is as an evergreen tree of diabolical knowledge.”
“The room was darker and smelled of evergreen, as though my mother had been dreaming of trees.”
“The public library is the most dangerous place in town”
“I felt knowledge and the unity of the world circulate in me like my own blood.”
“Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life. ”
“If you want to damage a culture - attack it's libraries. Libraries can be as strong as a tree, but they're as fragile as a flower.”
