"There is, so I believe, in the essence of everything, something that we cannot call learning.

"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

"Only a very few can be learned, but all can be Christian, all can be devout, and – I shall boldly add – all can be theologians."

"The ultimate goal of the educational system is to shift to the individual the burden of pursing his own education. This will not be a widely shared pursuit until we get over our odd conviction that education is what goes on in school buildings and nowhere else."

"Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life. Libraries change lives for the better."
