"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。
世界是事实的总体，而不是事物的总体。
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
最大的风险是不冒任何风险。
