We do not know the true value of our moments until they have undergone the test of memory.

I can no longer think what I want to think. My thoughts have been replaced by moving images.

It is always brave to say what everyone thinks.

No doubt about it: error is the rule, truth is the accident of error.

A library is that venerable place where men preserve the history of their experience, their tentative experiments, their discoveries, and their plans... in books may be found the recipes for daily living - the prescriptions for the mind and the heart.
