"The problem in our country isn't with books being banned, but with people no longer reading. Look at the magazines, the newspapers around us – it's all junk, all trash, tidbits of news. The average TV ad has 120 images a minute. Everything just falls off your mind. … You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them."

(Raymond Douglas Bradbury, scrittore; Waukegan, 22 agosto 1920 – Los Angeles, 5 giugno 2012)
