Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one mind to another mind. -James Russell Lowell-
A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens remaining where a [person's] mind can get both provocation and privacy. -Edward P. Morgan-
Books can be dangerous. The best ones should be labeled "This could change your life." -Helen Exley-
