Trying to add my 2 cents (As I do not agree with the above sentence):
You build applications "on top of / using" libraries while you build
applications "in the context of" a framework.
A framework is more like a piece of swiss cheese were you fill the
holes. The framework provides an overall structure with particular rules
for its use, while the library provide basic blocks that you may
assemble in your own way (even if some constaints exist).
