The librarian in me...
The librarian in me has to link to this:
The Forbidden Library: Banned and Challenged Books
Some of my favorite entries: The Bible, Call of the Wild, Don Quixote, Earth Science, Fahrenheit 451, A Light in the Attic...
I really need to update my quotes page. For the time being, these will reside here:
"Books and ideas are the most effective weapons against intolerance and ignorance."
- Lyndon Baines Johnson, February 11, 1964
"Censorship, like charity, should begin at home; but unlike charity, it should end there."
- Clare Booth Luce
"Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas. The source of better ideas is wisdom. The surest path to wisdom is a liberal education."
- Alfred Whitney Griswold, Essays on Education
(Liberal Arts at Work, anyone?)
