“We need to teach people to love. All of the students shouldn’t be doing things that their parents tell them to do and that their politicians tell them to do. They should go to the library and teach themselves. The library should be the center of their life—because the library is the most important love center.

You need yourself to teach yourself…And my advice to all you students there is get the hell out of there and do it.” The skyped-in Ray Bradbury at our event on Tuesday.
