You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

When you grow up in science fiction you grow up in everything! It's the greatest and only field worth growing up in. It's the total field.

Through neglect, ignorance, or inability, the new intellectual Borgias cram hairballs down our throats and refuse us the convulsion that could make us well. They have forgotten, if they ever knew, the ancient knowledge that only by being truly sick can one regain health. Even beasts know when it is good and proper to throw up. Teach me how to be sick then, in the right time and place, so that I may again walk in the fields and with the wise and smiling dogs know enough to chew sweet grass.

There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches.

Most of us can't rush around, talk to everyone, know all the cities of the world, we haven't time, money or that many friends. The things you're looking for... are in the world, but the only way the average chap will ever see ninety-nine per cent of them is in a book.

Kill two birds with one stone, feed the homeless to the hungry.

The library is the biggest cracker box factory in the world. The more you eat, the more you want.
