"If [museums, galleries and concert halls] were closed I should feel an infinitely poorer man, as though my income of possible pleasures had been cut down. I love [them], indeed, as noble reserves of pleasure on which I can draw at need. I can bear not visiting them, but I could not bear so easily not having them to visit." - Robert Lynd, from "On Never Going to the British Museum" _The_Portable_Irish_Reader_, 1946. A sentiment many Internauts might understand in light of today's efforts at net.censorship.
