Book cover for The Library Book
On those visits, my mother and I walked in together but as soon as we passed through the door, we split up and each headed to our favorite section. The library might have been the first place I was ever given autonomy.

Alicia Appleman-Jurman
“remember passing our once-beautiful large synagogue, which had not been used for many years now, and seeing a woman leaning against the wall wailing, just crying out in agony. She looked to me like a branch dismembered from a tree, an arm without a body, a mind filled with grief, a bleeding heart, a walking tragedy. I hurried away, afraid of being swept up into her grief.”
Alicia Appleman, Alicia: My Story

Steven Pinker

“Man is the lowest-cost, 150-pound, nonlinear, all-purpose computer system which can be mass-produced by unskilled labor.”
Steven Pinker, Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress

“Whatever the anxiety is based upon, one of the best ways to minimize the anxiety of change—or any other anxiety—is to actively participate in the process of that change, i.e., to do something.” She declared it is necessary to become actively involved in the change rather than passively accepting and accommodating it.7 By”
Phyllis Povell, Montessori Comes to America: The Leadership of Maria Montessori and Nancy McCormick Rambusch

Paul Fussell
“Happy are those who can relieve suffering with prayer Happy those who can rely on God to see them through. They can wait patiently for the end. But we who have put our faith in the goodness of man and now see man’s image debas’d lower than the wolf or the hog— Where can we turn for consolation? Owen”
Paul Fussell, The Great War and Modern Memory
