"Il n'est pas nécessaire de brûler des livres pour détruire une culture."
— Ray Bradbury

Simplified Meaning:
You can harm or erase a culture by simply making people stop caring about their traditions, stories, and values. For instance, if people don't speak their native language or practice their customs, those things can disappear. Imagine if all over the world, people stopped celebrating their holidays or singing their traditional songs. Over time, the unique parts of their culture would fade away, just like disappearing ink. In everyday life, it's important to keep learning and sharing your cultural stories and customs so they don't get lost. This quote reminds us that protecting our culture doesn't just mean saving books and artifacts; it means continuing to live and appreciate our cultural heritage.
