On contributor sites this quote is attributed variously to Ray Bradbury and/or Mark Twain. However, on academic reference sites it is attributed to Mohandas Gandhi. Follow the link below. Ray Bradbury said this in the January 1994 edition of Reader's Digest. His own website also attributes the quote to himself. I am more likely to believe it was Bradbury because he also has other quotes about similar topics, such as "There is more than one way to burn a book." (1979)

This quote emphasizes the importance of reading in preserving a civilization's knowledge and values. In the context of a book, it suggests that a society's decline can come from neglecting literature and critical thinking. By disengaging from reading, people may lose touch with their cultural heritage and intellectual capacity.
