Les bibliothèques sont l'avenir de la lecture.

Vous voyez, je ne suis pas une bobe brillante pour être tendu sur un collier et affiché pour que tout le monde puisse le voir. Je suis trop fier d'être la conquête de quiconque.

Si les gens ne me craignaient pas, comment pourrait-il me tolérer?

C'est peut-être ce que je cherchais. Lorsque les tempêtes et les glissements de roche menacent, je cherche quelqu'un qui me tiendra et ne lâchera pas.

Si cela doit être fait, il vaut mieux faire courageusement.

Les bibliothèques sont l'avenir de la lecture. Lorsque l'économie est en baisse, nous devons faciliter l'achat et lire les livres gratuitement, pas plus facilement. Il est stupide de sacrifier les acheteurs de livres de demain pour les dollars d'aujourd'hui, surtout quand il est évident que la source en question n'a plus de dollars à vous donner.

Lorsque la sécurité et l'acceptation de quelqu'un d'autre dans la société sont en jeu, votre inconfort personnel est très éloigné.

Bien sûr; Une infirmière n'aurait pas été aussi audacieuse dans son discours. Pas à l'héritier d'un duc. Pas même à un commerçant riche qui détenait le pouvoir de son emploi entre ses mains trop grandes.

Aucun homme n'est brisé parce que de mauvaises choses lui arrivent. Il est brisé parce qu'il ne continue pas après que ces choses se produisent.
