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 future isn't written in the stars. There are no guarantees. So claim your adulthood. Be intentional. Get to work. Pick your family. Do the math. Make your own certainty. Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do. You are deciding your life right now.
