“In Senegal, the polite expression for saying someone died is to say his or her library has burned.”
Susan Orlean, The Library Book

Alan Lightman
“Over many centuries science has weakened the hold of religion, not by disproving the existence of God, but by invalidating arguments for God based on what we observe in the natural world.

The multiverse idea offers an explanation of why we find ourselves in a universe favorable to life that does not rely on the benevolence of a creator, and so if correct will leave still less support for religion.”
Alan Lightman, The Accidental Universe: The World You Thought You Knew

Susan Orlean
“I loved wandering around the bookshelves, scanning the spines until something happened to catch my eye. Those visits were dreamy, frictionless interludes that promised I would leave richer than I arrived. It wasn't like going to a store with my mom, which guaranteed a tug-of-war between what I wanted and what my mother was willing to buy me; in the library I could have anything I wanted.”
Susan Orlean, The Library Book

Susan Orlean
“The publicness of the public library is an increasingly rare commodity. It becomes harder all the time to think of places that welcome everyone and don’t charge any money for that warm embrace.”
Susan Orlean, The Library Book

“Public libraries in the United States outnumber McDonald’s; they outnumber retail bookstores two to one.”
