    “If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.”

    E.B. White
    “This is what youth must figure out:
    Girls, love, and living.
    The having, the not having,
    The spending and giving,
    And the meloncholy time of not knowing.

    This is what age must learn about:
    The ABC of dying.
    The going, yet not going,
    The loving and leaving,
    And the unbearable knowing and knowing”
    ― EB White

    E.B. White
    “A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people - people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book."

    [Letters of Note; Troy (MI, USA) Public Library, 1971]”
