John Sladek Zitate

We didn't have a phone when I was a kid, and I was too shy to smash any public phones, and our town didn't have a pool hall either, so I had to hang out at the public library - and anyway, I told myself stories.

Wir hatten kein Telefon, als ich ein Kind war, und ich war zu schüchtern, um öffentliche Telefone zu zerschlagen, und unsere Stadt hatte auch keinen Poolraum, also musste ich mich in der öffentlichen Bibliothek aufhalten - und sowieso Ich habe mir Geschichten erzählt.

No place affords a more striking conviction of the vanity of human hopes than a public library.

Samuel Johnson

I was always looking ahead. I used to do all kinds of things for entertainment. When I was young, we had no radio, no TV. We were 30 miles from the public library, out in the sticks in Western Kansas, and so I'd do arithmetic exercises.

Children have to have access to books, and a lot of children can't go to a store and buy a book. We need not only our public libraries to be funded properly and staffed properly, but our school libraries. Many children can't get to a public library, and the only library they have is a school library.

Katherine Paterson

In my opinion, right up there with free public schools, our free public library system is what makes citizenship possible, even what makes America great.

If you're poor, you don't often live near a good school. If it's a competitive public school program, our kids are not prepared to enter those programs.

Trump's pronounced anti-immigrant stance is reminiscent of both Le Pen in France and Orban in Hungary, although he is far from alone in taking such positions in much of today's Republican Party.

Peter Bergen

I majored in sociology and never took a single music-related course, much less any kind of class in public speaking - no confidence for it, none - yet I still had a passion for it that burned inside me.

Regis Philbin

Anyone in public life who comes out, comes out primarily for themselves, and their life is immediately improved. That's what happened to me.
