I work three days at home, and two days in the British Library or the London Library, just to get out of the house and hide from the children.
David Nicholls

I have been ineluctably drawn to libraries ever since I entered that sanctum sanctorum. It was a place of quietude. In a world where things go beep and ding and ring, where you’ve got mail and you’ve got messages, when I enter a library, I feel that I am still entering a temple.
Carmen Agra Deedy

I was a great reader of fairy tales. I tried to read the entire fairy tale section of the library.
Beverly Cleary

Public libraries are our great teachers and storytellers, and are a vital adjunct to our schools. In this day of standardized and homogenized education, a library offers individual and personalized learning opportunities second to none.
Julie Andrews

The Bön texts are thousands of years old, and I am sure that not even 7 percent of what is still in monasteries, libraries and caves has been translated. Even without taking into consideration the spiritual aspect, Bön should be preserved as a treasure for humanity just for its cultural aspect.

Mr. Pewter led them through to a library, filled with thousands of antiquarian books. 'Impressive, eh?' 'Very,' said Jack. 'How did you amass all these?' 'Well,' said Pewter, 'You know the person who always borrows books and never gives them back?' 'Yes...?' 'I'm that person.
Jasper Fforde

How we use the knowledge we gain determines our progress on earth, in space or on the moon. Your library is a storehouse for mind and spirit. Use it well.
Neil Armstrong

I have found the most valuable thing in my wallet is my library card.
Laura Bush

For whatever is truly wondrous and fearful in man, never yet was put into words or books.
Herman Melville
Image
Libraries are my passion in life. Before I became mayor (of Los Angeles), I used to sneak out here during lunchtime...and I'd go to a corner and take a book-any book almost-and read it for a while, and then feel rejuvenated.
Richard Riordan

You can take the girl out of the library, but you can’t take the neurotic, compulsively curious librarian out of the girl.
Molly Harper

If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians.
Warren Buffett

In our democratic society, the library stands for hope, for learning, for progress, for literacy, for self-improvement and for civic engagement. The library is a symbol of opportunity, citizenship, equality, freedom of speech and freedom of thought, and hence, is a symbol for democracy itself.

Nothing sickens me more than the closed door of a library.
Barbara Tuchman

Keep reading books, but remember that a book’s only a book, and you should learn to think for yourself.
Maxim Gorky
Image
Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Flirtation is a circulating library, in which we seldom ask twice for the same volume.
Nathaniel Parker Willis

I like libraries. It's a comfort that knowledge can be save for so long. That what we learn can be passed on.
