"A peculiar anthologic maze, an amusing literary chaos, a farrago of quotations, a mere olla podrida of quaintness, a pot pourri of pleasant delites, a florilegium of elegant extracts, a tangled fardel of old-world flowers of thought, a faggot of odd fancies, quips, facetiae, loosely tied" (Holbrook Jackson, Anatomy of Bibliomania) by a "laudator temporis acti," a "praiser of time past" (Horace, Ars Poetica 173).
The book that would deserve to be banned first in the world would be a catalog of banned books.Gilbert K. Chesterton (1874-1936), Orthodoxy (1908; rpt. London: The Bodley Head, 1957), p. 44:
Das Buch, das in der Welt am Ersten verboten zu werden verdiente, wäre ein Katalogus von verbotenen Büchern.
There is a thought that stops thought. That is the only thought that ought to be stopped.
