• Either Christianity is true or it's false. If you bet that it's true, and you believe in God and submit to Him, then if it IS true, you've gained God, heaven, and everything else. If it's false, you've lost nothing, but you've had a good life marked by peace and the illusion that ultimately, everything makes sense. If you bet that Christianity is not true, and it's false, you've lost nothing. But if you bet that it's false, and it turns out to be true, you've lost everything and you get to spend eternity in hell.

  Blaise Pascal

  Good Life, Believe, Heaven

• The librarian of today, and it will be true still more of the librarians of tomorrow, are not fiery dragons interposed between the people and the books. They are useful public servants, who manage libraries in the interest of the public . . . Many still think that a great reader, or a writer of books, will make an excellent librarian. This is pure fallacy.

• Letter 1
  To the princess of the elephants,
  I disappeared exactly one year ago. On that day I received a letter. It called me back to the place where my life with the elephants began
  Please forgive me, for the silence between us has been unbroken for one year.
  I will never be more of myself than in these letters.
  They are my maps of the bird path, and they are all that I know to be true.
