The phrase "Eating the seed corn." comes to mind.
Also the old anarchist saw:
"Libraries will get you through times of no money better
than money will get you through times of no libraries"
- tzs 15y agoWikipedia says that comes from Anne Herbert in "The Next Whole Earth Catalog". Are you sure it has an anarchist connection? It's probably inspired by this earlier quote from Gilbert Shelton's wonderful "The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers" comix: "Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope."
- itmag 15y agoIt may be an old saw but I sure never heard it before. Thanks. I'm curious about anarchist thought on libraries, mind telling me more?
