William H Gass Quotes

Public Libraries Have Succumbed To The Same Pressures That Have Overwhelmed The Basic Cultural Functions Of Museums And Universities, Aims That Should Remain What They Were, Not Because The Old Ways Are Always Better But Because In This Case They Were The Right Ones: The Sustaining Of Standards, The Preservation Of Quality, The Conservation Of Literacy's History, The Education Of The Heart, Eye And Mind. Now Libraries Devote Far Too Much Of Their Restricted Space, And Their Limited Budget, To Public Amusement. It Is A Fact Of Philistine Life That Amusement Is Where The Money Is.
