4) The guy is obviously really into books, probably a writer.
He means that if we discard our literature we might as well be throwing away human lives.
3) I dont know who said it but they said it because they mean people dont generally think for themselves they just let the government order them around and tell them what to do, which makes it really easy for the government to make whatever laws and regulations they please.
2) It means exactly what it says...
