A few quotes I noticed in The Week magazine (U.K.) and the Star Tribune newspaper in the last week regarding the tools necessary for spreading knowledge:
Book Banning:

Eric Boeshart, age 11
Falcon Ridge Elementary School, Apple Valley Minnesota
"All the books in the library should be read. Reading lets kids our age let our imaginations free. We can fly with Harry Potter. Or we can ride through Alaska in "The Call of the Wild." Parents should not be able to take away that freedom."
Libraries:
"No place affords a more striking conviction of the vanity of human hopes than a public library."
Dr. Johnson, quoted in The Independent (via The Week magazine)
Press:
"To enjoy the inestimable blessings of a free press it is necessary to tolerate the ills that it endangers."
Alexis de Tocqueville, quoted in the Daily Telegraph (via The Week magazine)
Stay free,
Todd
