I start graduate school this week.
"A library is not just a warehouse for books; it is a physical representation of a set of cultural values that have accumulated over thousands of years. Libraries salvaged and preserved Western civilization; they have been a hub for intellectual exchange, a ladder of social mobility, and a promise of continuity from one generation to the next. It is not mere courtesy that causes people to become silent in the library, as they do in a church: Libraries are sacred places." -William Pannapacker
"I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” -Jorge Luis Borges
I LOVE Borges. We read one of his short stories in my world civ class at KSU and I adored it. I've found bits and pieces since then, but I need to read more of his work.
