“The real heroes are the librarians and teachers who at no small risk to themselves refuse to lie down and play dead for censors.”

“Teachers are to inspire; librarians are to fulfill.”

“The real heroes are scientists who are protecting humans from deadly bacteria and viruses, astronomers and planetary defense teams who are watching the sky for Near-Earth Objects (NEOs), police and firefighters who risk their lives to protect people, teachers who toil to educate their students, parents who make sacrifices for their children, and volunteers who devote their time and energy to serve others.”

“It's a shame that pantyless party girls get more attention than the real heroes, the nurses and teachers and moms.”

“I have a real soft spot in my heart for librarians and people who care about books.”

“You're dead, George. You just don't have the sense to lie down.”

“Only a dead nation remembers its heroes when they die. Real nations respect them when they are alive.”

“Like all real heroes, Charley had a fatal flaw. He refused to believe that he had gonorrhea, whereas the truth was that he did.”

“Censors are dead men
set up to judge between life and death.”

“And what of the dead? They lie without shoes
in their stone boats. They are more like stone
than the sea would be if it stopped. They refuse
to be blessed, throat, eye and knucklebone.”
