More From Vartan Gregorian

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.

Introspection is self-improvement and therefore introspection is self-centeredness. awareness is not self-improvement. on the contrary, it is the ending of the self, of the “i,” with all its peculiar idiosyncrasies, memories, demands, and pursuits. in introspection there is identification and condemnation. in awareness there is no condemnation or identification; therefore, there is no self-improvement. there is a vast difference between the two.

In our democratic society, the library stands for hope, for learning, for progress, for literacy, for self-improvement and for civic engagement. the library is a symbol of opportunity, citizenship, equality, freedom of speech and freedom of thought, and hence, is a symbol for democracy itself.

I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

I was so inspired by dr. king that in 1956 with my brothers and sisters and first cousins, i was only 16 years old, we went down to the public library trying to check out some books and we were told by the librarian that the library was for whites only and not for colors! it was a public library! i never went back to that public library until july 5th, 1998, by this time i'm in the congress, for a book signing of my book "walking with the wind"
