"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."
有了图书馆，你是自由的，不受暂时政治气候的限制。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。
The most sublime act is to set another before you.
The rules of morality are not the conclusion of our reason.
阅读是一种祈祷形式，一种引导冥想，让我们暂时相信自己是别人。
真相往往存在于词语之间的空白。
Every breakthrough starts with a question.
我们彼此相连，生物上相连；与地球相连，化学上相连；与宇宙的其余部分相连，原子上相连。
