Men such as they are, very naturally seek money or power; and power because it is as good as money.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be a little careful about your library. Do you foresee what you will do with it? Very little to be sure. But the real question is, What it will do with you? You will come here and get books that will open your eyes, and your ears, and your curiosity, and turn you inside out or outside in.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
