“Libraries and museums are the DNA of our culture.”

“In our democratic society, the library stands for hope, for learning, for progress, for literacy, for self-improvement and for civic engagement. The library is a symbol of opportunity, citizenship, equality, freedom of speech and freedom of thought, and hence, is a symbol for democracy itself.”

“The universe is not going to see someone like you again in the entire history of creation.”
