Beauty is power, a smile is its sword.

  1. I once tried to steal Charles Reade’s classic novel ‘The Cloister and the Hearth’ (1861) from a library. I felt so guilty pulling the magnetic strip out of the spine, whilst still in the library, that I left the book in the library after all. I guess you could say, I vandalized the book, though no aparent harm was really done to it at all. I just rendered it stealable. I just wanted it for the illustration but apparently it was a favorite text of some famous authors, like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Thomas Wolfe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cloister_and_the_Hearth
