always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them.”

“Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors. The
library connects us with the insight and knowledge, painfully extracted from
Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from
the entire planet and from all our history, to instruct us without tiring, and
to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the
human species. I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our
awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future
can all be tested by how well we support our libraries.”
