“Libraries are about Freedom. Freedom to read, freedom of ideas, freedom of communication. They are about education (which is not a process that finishes the day we leave school or university), about entertainment, about making safe spaces, and about access to information.”
― Neil Gaiman, The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction

“I live my life without fear because I know how to get up.”
― Candy Palmater, Running Down a Dream: A Memoir

“...This is the solstice, the still point
of the sun, its cusp and midnight,

of a vanished house left ajar...”
― Margaret Atwood, Eating Fire : Selected Poetry, 1965-95

“The land is the real teacher. All we need as students is mindfulness.”
― Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants
