“The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in the history.”
“Wars become history all too soon and are forgotten all too soon as well, before the lessons can be learned.”
“That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach.”
“If what we learn is no more than what we expect to learn, then we have learned nothing at all.”
“I grew up in libraries, and I hope I've learned never to take them for granted. A thriving library is the heart of its community, providing access to information and educational opportunities, bringing people together, leveling the playing field, and archiving our history.”
“I learn more from books than from people”
