On the sign:
All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), “Old Newsman Writes”, Esquire, December 1934

Comments:
The Library Walk, is a venture launched in 1996 by the New York Public Library, Grand Central Partnership and New Yorker Magazine, in which are embedded in bronze plaques quotes from well-known books, or those dealing with books and literature. The panels designed by artist Gregg LeFevre were laid in 1998 from the New York Public Library building along 41st Street.

The quote is from an article written by the American writer and journalist who was the winner of the Nobel Prize and the Pulitzer Prize - Ernest Hemingway, and was published in Esquire magazine, on December 1, 1934. The article was sent to a newspaper from Cuba where he traveled at the time.
The full name of the article is: Old Newsman Writes - A Letter from Cuba.
