The acceptance of this idea is possible only to those of especially progressive tendencies and a strong sense of justice, and it is yet too soon to expect these from the majority.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“... as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the ideal library is in the wish of its maker.”
