The last essay in this little book of articles about Benjamin's anarchist beliefs is a transcript from an interview he did with journalist Kishnan Guru-Murthy.

"If you need a book, you need a book. And it doesn't matter what you need it for; to pass an exam, to learn to read, or to keep your mind exercised, they are all important to you, at that time, when you need a book."
