UIPS & QUOTES

Selected by Debra Tweedy Second-hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack. Besides, in this random miscellaneous company, we may rub against some complete stranger who will, with luck, turn into the best friend we have in the world. ~Virginia Woolf, English writer, 18821941

Progress is never permanent, will always be threatened, must be redoubled, restated and reimagined if it is to survive. ~Zadie Smith, English writer, 1975Genius is the power of carrying the feelings of childhood into the powers of manhood. ~Samuel Taylor Coleridge, English poet, 1772-1834 The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States, 1882-1945 To be a human being among people and to remain one forever, no matter in what circumstances, not to grow despondent and not to lose heart—that’s what life is all about, that’s its task. ~Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Russian writer, 1821-1881 In ancient times, cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this. ~Terry Pratchett, English writer, 19482015

We must all either wear out or rust out, every one of us. My choice is to wear out. ~Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States, 1858-1919 I had the chance to make every possible mistake and figure out a way to recover from it. Once you realize there is life after mistakes, you gain a self-confidence that never goes away. --Bob Schieffer, American television journalist, 1937Dogs are wise. They crawl away into a quiet corner and lick their wounds and do not rejoin the world until they are whole once more. ~Agatha Christie, English writer, 1890-1976

Longview native Debra Tweedy has lived on four continents. She and her husband decided to return to her hometown and bought a house facing Lake Sacajawea.“We came back because of the Lake and the Longview Public Library,” she says.
