Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.
A good book is the precious life-blood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life.
For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them.
