I stand for the freedom to access books and against censorship.
I believe that understanding people's stories fosters compassion and education which informs us on how to not relive the dark parts of history.

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.
