“There is more than one way to burn a book.”
— Ray Bradbury

Simplified Meaning:
There are different methods to destroy knowledge or ideas. One obvious way is to burn a book, but other ways can be just as harmful. For example, if people stop reading books or block access to certain ideas, it's like those books are burned because their messages never get shared. Imagine a library full of amazing stories and important information, but no one ever goes there to read. Even though the books are not destroyed, they're forgotten and lose their power. In history, some governments have banned books to control what people think, which is another way of destroying those ideas. So, we should not only protect books from physical harm but also make sure people can and do read them to keep ideas alive.
