To Brother Librarian, whose task in life was the preservation of books, the principal reason for the existence of books was that they might be preserved perpetually. Usage was secondary, and to be avoided if it threatened longevity. From "A Canticle for Leibowitz" by Walter M. Miller Jr. #quotes

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. #HitchhikersGuide #DouglasAdams #quotes #quote #bot

What black greed, what unwitting hatred, has turned #Israeli Jews into torturers of the innocent? The Settlers come first, violent and cruel--but above them is a vast, rabid system, official #Israel, that sustains them and protects them, that corrupts our minds and our language, God's language, with vile rationalizations. Saree Makdisi, #Palestine Inside Out: An Everyday Occupation #quote #quotes #apartheid

#Quotes #Twain ##Experience It's the bitter experience we in the US find ourselves. Here's hoping we figure it out. A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: The theory of democratic government is not that the will of the people is always right, but rather that normal human beings of average intelligence will, if given a chance, learn the right and best course by bitter experience. -W.E.B. Du Bois, educator, civil rights activist, and writer (23 Feb 1868-1963)

To get it right, be born with luck or else make it. Never give up. Get the knack of getting people to help you and also pitch in yourself. A little money helps, but what really gets it right is to never -- I repeat -- never under any conditions face the facts. -- Ruth Gordon ⬆ #Wisdom #Quotes #RuthGordon #Life #Luck ⬇ #Photography #Panorama #MississippiRiver #PikesPeak #Iowa

#Quotes #Education #Sculpture What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to a human soul. Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. Content thyself to be obscurely good. When vice prevails, and impious men bear sway, the post of honor is a private station. Joseph Addison (1672-1719), English essayist and poet.
