Richard Riordan quotes
-
“Libraries are my passion in life. Before I became mayor (of Los Angeles), I used to sneak out here during lunchtime...and I'd go to a corner and take a book-any book almost-and read it for a while, and then feel rejuvenated.”
-- Richard Riordan -
“I believe employers should be aware that employees who earn under $10 an hour cannot lead an independent life. But I do not believe that government should dictate wages. We have seen this fail in Socialist and Communist countries. It will do irreparable harm.”
-- Richard Riordan
-
“Some men are more interesting than their books but my book is more interesting than its man.”
-
“You can't be without passion. Passion means the possessiveness to be the best.”
-
“Cloisters, ancient libraries ... I was confusing learning with the smell of cold stone.”
-
“A library is a place where you learn what teachers were afraid to teach you.”
-
“Every library is a library of preferences, and every chosen category implies an exclusion.”
