Captain Beatty says this near the end of “The Hearth and the Salamander". Beatty is a paradox. While he defends intellectual individualism he also defends the “equalization” of society. He hates books yet he has memorised many of them. He denounces the use of books as weapons while freely using them as weapons of intellect.
