    “Our books of science, as they improve in accuracy, are in danger of losing the freshness and vigor and readiness to appreciate the real laws of Nature, which is a marked merit in the ofttimes false theories of the ancients.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Even bad books are books and therefore sacred.”
    —Günther Grass (b.1927)

    “We found nothing grand in the history of the Jews nor in the morals inculcated in the Pentateuch.... I know of no other books that so fully teach the subjection and degradation of woman.”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
