Faber tells Montag that books are important because they contain the knowledge, ideas, and emotions of society. He explains that each book represents a person who wrote it, and that burning books means destroying the thoughts and dreams of those individuals. Faber emphasizes the power of books to make people think and question the world around them.
Saving books is important and people should be able to be independent and read books if they want. People shouldn't be told to not read and obtain useful information. If people want to learn from books, then they should have the freedom to.
That saving books is important, people must be free to read books and act on the information that they obtain from books.
Faber is afraid to answer Montag's questions about books because he is worried about the consequences of openly discussing banned literature. He fears being caught and punished by the authorities for possessing illegal books and sharing forbidden knowledge. Faber is cautious and knows the risks associated with defying the government's restrictions on reading and intellectual freedom.
Faber helps Montag by providing him with knowledge and guidance to help him understand the importance of books and critical thinking.

Faber believes that Montag lacks genuine connections with others and a sense of purpose in his life. He sees Montag as being disconnected from his emotions and the world around him, simply going through the motions without truly living.
In part 3, Montag tells Faber to come out of hiding and help him fight against the oppressive society that suppresses free thought and expression. He asks Faber to guide him on his mission to challenge the status quo and bring about change.
The plan, as Faber condenses it is, "The salamander devours its own tail." When Montag goes to Faber's home, he doesn't have a clear plan of attack. He tells Faber that they need to print some extra copies of books. He seems to have no plan after that, but Faber, jokingly adds that maybe they could make copies of books, plant the books in the homes of firemen, then turn in an alarm on those firemen so they'd be arrested and "the seeds of suspicion would be sown among the arsonists." Faber balks and to convince him to help with the plan, Montag begins to rip the pages from the Bible that he has. Faber then tells Montag that he knows a printer with an old printing press who might be able to print up a few copies of books. Faber wants to wait until the war begins and wipes out some of the problem though. Montag is going to go home to get some money to pay the printer, so Faber gives him the two-way radio seashell so that Faber can talk to Montag to help guide him and he can also him to what is said around Montag, particularly by Beatty.
Montag wanted Faber to help him understand the books he had been reading and to guide him on how to stop the suppression of knowledge and promote critical thinking in society. Faber's knowledge and wisdom were crucial for Montag's journey towards enlightenment and resistance against a dystopian regime.
Faber was a retired English professor whom Montag seeks out for guidance and help in understanding books and literature. Faber is knowledgeable about the value of books and helps Montag in his journey to preserve knowledge and fight against censorship in a society that bans and burns books.
Faber and Montag set up the firemen by planting books in Montag's house and reporting it to the authorities in order to expose the corruption within the system and spark a revolution against censorship and oppression. They wanted to challenge the status quo and restore freedom of thought and expression.
Faber is initially hesitant and fearful of Montag's idea to take action against the fire department because he is concerned about the risks involved. However, he eventually agrees to help Montag by providing him with guidance and support in his mission to shake up the oppressive society.
the explanation that Montag and Faber come to is that they have been to busy memorizing books they don't realize how much time has passed.
