This Samuel Johnson quote also made me very happy.
Window and Inscription - Library of Congress

I had a talk with a new friend I met at DucKon about what constitutes ultimate good in society. His position was that increasing knowledge is an ultimate good, in that it creates better lives for a huge number of people.
On an intellectual level, I see some points of criticism of that belief. But on an emotional level, I'm a believer. Everything about this building appealed deeply and emotionally to that believer in myself.
