The rules have changed. True power is held by the person who possesses the largest bookshelf, not gun cabinet or wallet. Anthony J. D'Angelo

Using these toolkits is like trying to make a bookshelf out of mashed potatoes. Jamie Zawinski
Right up to the middle of this century all perceptions of the world around us were delivered via the bookshelf or the paper route. Theodore Bikel
