Doris Lessing
“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.”
― Doris Lessing

Nanette L. Avery
“Arrogance has become our national hangover”
― Nanette L. Avery
