In the 17th century, people built these temples of knowledge because they knew nothing mattered more.

And now all we here is “job market preparation,” “there is no need for a president to have even a basic education,” “let’s substitute ‘search for truth’ with ‘worshipping the market’.”

I’m very disappointed in all of us.

    It’s beautiful. I’ve heard that most of it is underground?

      It’s got to be because otherwise I have no idea where all the books are located. But everything here opens after the conference starts and ends before it begins. This is very tantalizing.

    Eleven million volumes….incredible. Thank you so much for posting this; this is a true storehouse of knowledge. Google can suck it.
