FastSaying

The saddest death I think that happens in a persons life, is not the one that happens in old age, no its the one when the child in them dies, when the world no longer inspires curiosity and wonder, when the world ceases to have magic. That is when I truly think we begin to die, not the one of old age, for that is merely the last scene in a play that has long since been in its final act.

To deliberately damage or harm any holy book, any book really for that matter is wrong. They are receptacles of knowledge and ideas, keep them and storing them and disseminating them for the benefit of humanity,books ultimately exist to serve, regardless if one agrees with it or not. It was an assault on knowledge and enlightenment, that sad desire of some to see the triumph of ignorance over wisdom.
