有了图书馆，你就是自由的，不会被暂时的政治气候所限制。它是最民主的机构，因为没有人——绝对没有人——能告诉你该读什么、什么时候读以及如何读。

Justice is not a destination, it's a journey.

译文：如果遇到早开的梅花，应该折下一枝寄过来。

——在神户高等女校对神户商业会议所等五团体演讲，1924年11月28日

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

Nature hath made men so equal in the faculties of body and mind， as that though there be found one man sometimes manifestly stronger in body or of quicker mind than another， yet when all is reckoned together the difference between man and man is not so considerable as that one man can thereupon claim to himself any benefit to which another may not pretend as well as he.
