Them that begin by burning books, end by burning men.

Personally, I am dead against the burning of books.
Augustine Birrell
My yearning is my cup, my burning thirst is my drink, and my solitude is my intoxication; I do not and shall not quench my thirst. But in this burning that is never extinguished is a joy that never wanes.
Khalil Gibran
A terrible violence of creation,
A flash into the burning heart of the abominable;
Yet if we wait, unafraid, beyond the fearful instant,
The burning lake turns into a forest pool,
The fire subsides into rings of water,
A sunlit silence.Theodore Roethke
There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.
