It's about that time of year, bibliophiles & fellow Litsyans:
#BannedBooksWeek is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read; it highlights the value of free & open access to information. Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community—librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, & readers of all types—in shared support of the #freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.

“Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.”
― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own

"Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
― Elie Wiesel*

*Not a quote from "Night", but from Mr. Wiesel.

"Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: They grow there, firm as weeds among stones." —Jane Eyre
