Just as the largest library, badly arranged, is not so useful as a very moderate one that is well arranged, so the greatest amount of knowledge, if not elaborated by our own thoughts, is worth much less than a far smaller volume that has been abundantly and repeatedly thought over.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
When an old man dies, a library burns to the ground.
Chinua Achebe
Image
One potential long-term problem with many current digital libraries is that they grew out of and aresupported by bricks-and-mortar libraries. Although there is nothing inherently wrong with that arrangement, inreality it creates a potentially dangerous situation that I call the other digital divide.

I went into the library and read about fast food and became amazed by all the stuff I didn't know. I learned that there is a whole world behind the counter that, it seemed to me, has been deliberately hidden from the public.
Eric Schlosser

Until he lost all his money, my father was a successful north London Jewish businessman. He was unusual among his immediate family in that he was enormously cultured and had an incredible library.

In my world there would be as many public libraries as there are Starbucks.

I don't have sophisticated tastes. I have average tastes. If you looked in my collection of DVDs, you'd see 'Jaws' and 'Star Wars.' In the book library, you'd see John Grisham and Sidney Sheldon. And if you look in my fridge, it's, like, children's food - chips, milkshakes, yogurt.

Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.
Maya Angelou

Unlearned men of books assume the care, As eunuchs are the guardians of the fair.

Libraries are absolutely at the center of my life. Since I couldn't afford to go to college, I attended the library three or four days a week from the age of eighteen on, and graduated from the library when I was twenty-eight.
Ray Bradbury

My grandma always said that God made libraries so that people didn't have any excuse to be stupid.

A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us.
Franz Kafka

Libraries serve the information needs of all of the people in the community — not just the loudest, not just the most powerful, not even just the majority. Libraries serve everyone.

My very identities as a reader and a writer began at the Walt Whitman branch library.
Paula Spencer

Certainly, envy is no monopoly of the poor it makes itself felt in all sections of society it haunts the court, the library, the barrack-room, even the sanctuary it is provoked in some unhappy souls by the near neighbourhood of any superior rank or excellence whatever.

Sometimes I just experiment quite a lot. I've always got my computer set up to record so I'll just record a sort of library of ideas [that] I'll either come back to or use as they stand.

No use going to class unless you go to the library.
Ray Bradbury
Image
Information helps you to see that you're not alone. That there's somebody in Mississippi and somebody in Tokyo who have wept, who've all longed and lost, who've all been happy. So the library helps you to see, not only that you are not alone, but that you're not really any different from everyone else.
Maya Angelou

The delights of reading impart the vivacity of youth even to old age.
Isaac D'Israeli

My work has taken me from historical research to involvement in electronic publishing ventures to the directorship of the Harvard University Libraries.

Libraries can be of indispensable service in lifting the dead weight of poverty and ignorance.
Francis Keppel

My library is my kingdom, and here I try to make my rule absolute-shutting off this single nook from wife, daughter and society. Elsewhere I have only a verbal authority, and vague. Unhappy is the man, in my opinion, who has no spot at home where he can be at home to himself-to court himself and hide away.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
A School Library is Like the Bat Cave: it's a safe fortress in a chaotic world, a source of knowledge and the lair of a superhero.
Tom Angleberger

A country that has few museums is both materially poor and spiritually poor...Museums, like theaters and libraries, are a means to freedom.
