To be human is to make choices; the moment you allow others to make decisions for you is the moment you do an injustice to not only mankind but to yourself. — Kelseyleigh Reber

The written word is all that stands between memory and oblivion. Without books as our anchors, we are cast adrift, neither teaching nor learning.
