Bruce Sterling1 quote
Information is not power. If information were power, than librarians would be the most powerful people on the planet. — Bruce Sterling · 1994Ida B. Wells1 quote
The people must know before they can act, and there is no educator to compare with the press. — Ida B. Wells · 1892Louanne Johnson1 quote
The mind is like a muscle, okay, and if you want it to be really powerful, you got to work it out. Ok? Each new fact gives you another choice. Each new idea builds another muscle, okay, and it’s those muscles that are going to make you really strong. Those are your weapons and in this unsafe world, I want to arm you...Look, okay, if at the end of the term, you’re not faster, stronger, and smarter, you will have lost nothing. But if you are, you’ll be that much tougher to knock down. — Louanne Johnson · 1995
