The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history.

The library is the worst group of people ever assembled in history. They're mean, conniving, rude, and extremely well-read, which makes them dangerous.

I have a home-school group with a couple of my friends. We switch off going to each others' houses and going to the library to do art and stuff. It's almost like our own little school - a really little school.

As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.
因为最大的图书馆，如果它是无序的，不如一个小的，但安排得很好，所以你可以积累大量的知识，但它的价值将远远低于一个小得多的数量，如果你没有考虑自己。

沿着这个主题，再读几句。
