"The way to fight ignorance is to read everything you can, in order to foster and strengthen your own sense of empathy. Read what makes you uncomfortable. Read what you don't understand. With empathy on your side, you can make informed decisions and create a personal bulwark against hatred of every kind." -Tony Marx, President of the NYPL
