Reading Books Is Good, Rereading Good Books

This Is The Gift All Writers Seek-to Write Language That Incandesces Yet Does Not Melt.

[a Writer] Must Try To Think Clearly, To Feel Deeply, To Write Honestly. If He Is Fortunate He Will Make A Living, But His Work Will Never Be Anymore Essentially Clear And Deep And Honest Than He Himself Is, And He Will Be Judged Finally Not For How Many Copies His Books Have Sold, But For What They Have Done To Enrich The Lives Of Their Readers, Now And In Time To Come.

Unless Their Use By Readers Bring Them To Life, Books Are Indeed Dead Things.

Believers And Doers Are What We Need - Faithful Librarians Who Are Humble In The Presence Of Books.... To Be In A Library Is One Of The Purest Of All Experiences. This Awareness Of Library's Unique, Even Sacred Nature, Is What Should Be Instilled In Our Neophites.

No University In The World Has Ever Risen To Greatness Without A Correspondingly Great Library... When This Is No Longer True, Then Will Our Civilization Have Come To An End.
