“‎The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.”

“Reading is better than life. Without reading, you're stuck with life.”
― Fran Lebowitz

“Librarians are always smart, a little nuts, and know how to party.”
― John Waters, Mr. Know-It-All: The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder

“Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal — as we are!”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
