*September 23, 2016*

*“Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent,
literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill.
I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to
philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.”*

Henry David Thoreau
