人们通常没有意识到，所有的作家，即使是最伟大的作家，首先和最后也都是读者。
"It's not generally realized that all writers, even the greatest, are also readers first and last."
With a library you are free, not confined by temporary political climates. It is the most democratic of institutions because no one - but no one at all - can tell you what to read and when and how.
