The Library Is Central To Our Free

The Universe Is Not Going To See Someone Like You Again In The Entire History Of Creation.

One Of My Greatest Sources Of Pride As President Of The New York Public Library Is The Continuance Of The Library's Open, Free, And Democratic Posture, The Fact That We Are Here For Everyman, That We Are Indeed Everyman's University, The Place Where The Scholar Who Is Not College-affiliated Can Come And Work And Feel At Home.

The Library Is Not Only A Diary Of The Human Race, But Marks An Act Of Faith In The Continuity Of Humanity.

Everybody Is Somebody, So You Don't Have To Introduce Anybody.

Dignity Is Not Negotiable. Dignity Is The Honor Of The Family.
