"So trust the book. Trust the poetry and the strangeness, and the magic of the ink, and drink it slowly."
Neil Gaiman, introduction to 'The King of Elfland's Daughter' by Lord Dunsany
LIBRARIES GIVE US POWER!*
*"The truth is that even big collections of ordinary books distort space, as can readily be proved by anyone who has been around a really old-fashioned secondhand bookshop, one that looks as though they were designed by M. Escher on a bad day and has more stairways than storeys and those rows of shelves which end in little doors that are surely too small for a full-sized human to enter. The relevant equation is: Knowledge = power = energy = matter = mass; a good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read. "
