The dirtiest book of all is the expurgated book.
Walt Whitman
Image
Shut not your doors to me proud libraries.
Walt Whitman
Image
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing, Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms, Strong and content I travel the open road.
Walt Whitman
Image
The library is every child's lighthouse. It is every person's sanctuary. It is every town and county's fortress in the face of ignorance, intrusion and bad behavior.
Amy Bloom
Image
The library is full of stories of supposed triumphs which makes me very suspicious of it. It's misleading for people to read about great successes, since even for middle-class and upper-class white people, in my experience, failure is the norm.
Kurt Vonnegut
Image
I am unpacking my library. Yes I am. The books are not yet on the shelves, not yet touched by the mild boredom of order.
Walter Benjamin
Image
The richest minds need not large libraries.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Image
Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.
Walter Cronkite
Image
I read a lot of comic books and any kind of thing I could find. One day, a teacher found me. She grabbed my comic book and tore it up. I was really upset, but then she brought in a pile of books from her own library. That was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Walter Dean Myers

I was teased if I brought my books home. I would take a paper bag to the library and put the books in the bag and bring them home. Not that I was that concerned about them teasing me - because I would hit them in a heartbeat. But I felt a little ashamed, having books.
Walter Dean Myers

Art shouldn't be locked away in galleries and libraries and books. Art should be for everybody and not just art buffs, historians and so-called experts.
Julian Beever
Image
In Africa, when an old man dies, it's a library burning.
Amadou Hampate Ba

A library is a hospital for the mind.” - Anonymous
Alvin Toffler
Image
He wished he was with his mom in her library, where everything was safe and numbered and organized by the Dewey decimal system. Ben wished the world was organized by the Dewey decimal system. That way you'd be able to find whatever you were looking for, like the meaning of your dream, or your dad.
Brian Selznick
Image
In one sphere above all others, Anne Boleyn still had the power to influence him, and that was in the case of church reform. Anne was a passionate and sincere evangelical, the owner of a library of controversial reformist literature, and she was sympathetic to radical and even Lutheran ideas.
Alison Weir
Image
There's no better teacher for writing than reading... Get a library card. That's the best investment.
Alisa Valdes
Image
Libraries are the center of our lives. There's no use going to a university if you don't live at the library.
Ray Bradbury
Image
There's a world of difference . . . between that information to which we now presumably have access by way of computers, libraries, and the rest of it, great stockpiles of data, and the knowledge that people have in their bones by which they do good work and live good lives.
Wendell Berry
Image
If information is the currency of democracy, then libraries are its banks.
Wendell H. Ford
Image
I often find things at thrift stores and library sales that I never could have been looking for. In those cases, the research is done after the fact to figure out what, exactly, I've found. It's surprising how much out there still has no online presence.
Michael Dumontier
Image
Books may well be the only true magic.
Alice Hoffman
Image
Read properly, fewer books than a hundred would suffice for a liberal education. Read superficially, the British Museum Library might still leave the student a barbarian.
Alfred Richard Orage
Image
Make thy books thy companions. Let thy cases and shelves be thy pleasure grounds and gardens.
Judah ben Saul ibn Tibbon
Image
I liked reading and working out my ideas in the midst of that endless crowd walking in and out of the (library) looking for something. I, too, was seeking fame and fortune by sitting at the end of a long golden table next to the sets of American authors on the open shelves.
