“There comes a time in every man’s life when his thoughts lightly turn to setting his library on fire. To burn away the jungle to let him find the books that most matter to him.”
Steven Hardesty

“clearing with Bad-Henry.  He was pasted with mud stuck over with leaves, more burst sun blisters draining over his face. “Okay, everyone — stand fast.  Eyeballs and ears peeled”
Steven Hardesty, Ghost Soldiers

“The ability to read awoke inside of me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive.”
Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X

“Every night, I have to read a book, so that my mind will stop thinking about things that I stress about.”
Britney Spears

“In America, we’re really good at blowing things up but not so good in knowing where the pieces will land.”
Mike Tyson

“There comes a time in every man’s life when his thoughts lightly turn to setting his library on fire. To burn away the jungle to let him find the books that most matter to him.”
