“One of the wonderful things about books is it allows
us to find out about different ways of thinking, of living, different problems
people have, different ways of finding joy. You can explain a world through a
library and that’s a good thing. To cut that down is not useful.”—Bestselling
American novelist James Patterson, reacting to a Florida elementary school’s removal
of one of his youth adult books from their library, quoted by Marco della Cava,
“
James Patterson: If Florida Bans My Books, 'No Kids Under 12 Should Go to
Marvel Movies,'” USA Today, Mar. 15, 2023
