Quotes by Jane Stanton Hitchcock (?)

“Libraries are like houses of worship: Whether or not you use them yourself, it's important to know that they are there. In many ways they define a society and the values of that society. Librarians to me are the keepers of the flame of knowledge. When I was growing up, the librarian in my local library looked like a meek little old lady, but after you spent some time with her, you realized she was Athena with a sword, a wise and wonderful repository of wisdom.”

“it's much more interesting to try and understand what binds two people together. why we stay with each other is much more of a mystery than why we don't.”
