It takes two people to make you, and one people to die. That’s how the world is going to end.

William Faulkner

(from As I Lay Dying. In 1986 the book was banned after a mother read the novel, initially given to her child for a school assignment, and determined that it was “secular humanism.” She contacted the school body soon after demanding that “protection from Faulkner’s dangerous novel” be required for all students. It was banned one month later.)
