I was born, and then I was quietly resentful of that fact for a few years...but then I went to a library and it was okay.

Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest.

The universe (which others call the Library) is composed of an indefinite, perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries.

Networking isn’t synonymous with partying. If you’re doing it right, partying seems libraryesque in comparison.

If every library is in some sense a reflection of its readers, it is also an image of that which we are not, and cannot be.

Never lend books, for no one ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have lent me.

All my life, the library has always been one of my favorite places to go. (Larry Brown: A Writer's Life by Jean W. Cash)

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.

I attempted briefly to consecrate myself in the public library, believing every crack in my soul could be chinked with a book.

Overall, the library held a hushed exultation, as though the cherished volumes were all singing soundlessly within their covers.

We were all serious readers, sitting on wooden chairs at rows of lecterns, turning the pages, united in mutual love of isolation.

Book should go where they will be most appreciated, and not sit unread, gathering dust on a forgotten shelf, don't you agree?

Planting a flower's like opening a book, because either way you're starting something. And your garden's your library.

A big island of library, in the middle of an ocean, away from all the fools of the world, would this place not be a real paradise?

But at night, when the library lamps are lit, the outside world disappears and nothing but the space of books remains in existence.
