 [In an atmosphere of liberty, one is as free to not open a book as to open it. Although simple in concept, that is not necessarily an easy condition to maintain.] All of us can think of a book that we hope none of our children or any other children have taken off the shelf, ...

And then we have no books left on the shelf for any of us.

 The market for horsemeat is not an American market, ... Horsemeat is shipped abroad. The three slaughterhouses in the U.S. are foreign-owned. Thus, American horses are sold to a foreign company, killed for consumption in a foreign market, and foreign-owned companies profit from the export of horsemeat. Many Americans would be shocked to learn that our animals suffer such a fate, all in order to satisfy the tastes of those living in Europe and Asia.

 Thy fate is the common fate of all;
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 Thy fate is the common fate of all; Into each life some rain must fall.
  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 Be still, sad heart, and cease repining; Behind the clouds the sun is shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary.
  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 EXILE, n. One who serves his country by residing abroad, yet is not an ambassador. An English sea-captain being asked if he had read "The Exile of Erin," replied: "No, sir, but I should like to anchor on it."

 is it any different to loaning a book to someone? There was a book in the US ( Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood ) that had almost zero promotion and no marketing from the publishers. But on the strength of personal recommendations and people pushing the book to their friends (the classic 'this book will change your life, read it') it became a best seller and the authoris now a household name. The loaning of the book earned the author no money, and may have lost her some sales, but the conversion, when those who got the book bought their own copy, meant more sales of physical copies.

 New Orleans lost the battle with the inevitable, and we will suffer the same fate in some form here in California.

 The point I wish to make is this: [President William] McKinley gave Rowan a letter to be delivered to Garcia; Rowan took the letter & did not ask, “Where is he at?” By the Eternal! there is a man whose form should be cast in deathless bronze & the statue placed in every college of the land. It is not book-learning young men need, nor instruction about this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebrae which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies: do the thing—“Carry a message to Garcia!”
  Elbert Hubbard

 If it's (a certain book) not being used, that's a pretty good indicator. Fiction generally has a shorter shelf life than nonfiction, though if, for instance, we have the last copy of 'Tom Sawyer' I don't care if it hasn't been checked our for five years, we're not getting rid of it.
