You can destroy a book. You can burn it, you can tear it to pieces and scatter them to the four winds, you can soak it until it reverts to pulp or the ink turns the water black, but you can't destroy the contents of the book, or the idea of the book, not as long as there are those that care, who remember...WHO read.
A labyrinth, and a library. An inticracy of books, of stories told and waiting to be told. Great shelves of them, towering into obscurity, and they're always being added to, because each person's life consists of stories: stories upon stories upon stories. We're not creatures of flesh and blood alone, no more than a book is just ink, paper, and card. We're beings of tale and fable. We exist as narratives. This is how we understand the world, and this is how we must be understood.
