My dream was to have a Library of Congress catalogue number, that's all.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Scholars have long dreamed of a universal library containing everything that has ever been written.
I've only wanted paper and beautiful colors. It was my dream, and it still is my dream. And books. They're all I need, and the rest I can do without.
I remember visits to the local libraries and getting my own library cards as things of rite-of-passage significance.
When I was 14, I saw a library for the first time.
After all those days in the cotton fields, the dreams came true on a gold record on a piece of wood. It's in my den where I can look at it every day. I wear it out lookin' at it.
My mother would give my brothers and me a pile of catalogues and let us pick what we wanted for Christmas.
I wanted to see my name on the cover of a book. If your name is in the Library of Congress, you're immortal.
My own dream is that we discover that the NSA has been secretly keeping files on members of the National Rifle Association.
I dreamed of having a book of my own, of writing one that I could put on a shelf.
I would love to do an unauthorized biography about Congress... It's like a secret society up there.
