"Everyone reads out of a work as much as he is capable of reading into it. Only in the material realm is "a receiver not a giver." Spiritually, you can't take unless you give. To apprehend God's or a man's creation, you must put in your share and become a partner in a creative work."
"A good library is a place, a palace where the lofty spirits of all nations and generations meet."
"A man of learning is never bored."
