America is promises to take! America is promises to us to take them.

What is more important in a library than anything else-than everything else-is the fact that it exists.

Our reliance in this country is on the inquiring, individual human mind. Our strength is founded there; our resilience, our ability to face an ever-changing future and to master it. We are not frozen into the backward-facing impotence of those societies, fixed in the rigidness of an official dogma, to which the future is the mirror of the past. We are free to make the future for ourselves.

There is no dusk to be, There is no dawn that was, Only there's now, and now, And the wind in the grass.

We have no choice but to be guilty. God is unthinkable if we are innocent.

America is promises to take! America is promises to us to take them.

We have learned the answers, all the answers: it is the question that we do not know.
