“[Librarians] are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them.”
― Michael Moore
I well remember the riot that occurred in Tunisia when the head of Nessma TV aired the animated film adaptation of Persepolis on a Friday evening. His home was later firebombed. I had to get extra copies of the book, it became so popular!
Never doubt in impact of words.

“Most people don't realize how important librarians are. I ran across a book recently which suggested that the peace and prosperity of a culture was solely related to how many librarians it contained. Possibly a slight overstatement. But a culture that doesn't value its librarians doesn't value ideas and without ideas, well, where are we?”
― Neil Gaiman |
