All men have the stars， but they are not the same things for different people。 For some， who are travelers， the stars are guides。 For others they are no more than little lights in the sky。 For others， who are scholars， they are problems。 For my businessman they were wealth。 But all these stars are silent。 You – you alone – will have the stars as no one else has them.

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.

I know what I can do, so it doesn't bother me what other people think or say.

The stream of thought is the stream of life solving its problems.
