Libraries Quotes

Many years ago, when I was just about as complete a failure as one can become, I began to spend a good deal of time in libraries, looking for some answers. I found all the answers I needed in that golden vein of ore that every library has Picture Quote #1

Only those books come down which deserve to last. All the gilt edges, vellum and morocco, all the presentation copies to all the libraries will not preserve a book in circulation beyond its intrinsic date Picture Quote #1

For me, closing libraries is the equivalent of eating your seed corn to save a little money Picture Quote #1

What do we, as a nation, care about books? How much do you think we spend altogether on our libraries, public or private, as compared with what we spend on our horses? Picture Quote #1

Many useful and valuable books lie buried in shops and libraries, unknown and unexamined, unless some lucky compiler opens them by chance, and finds an easy spoil of wit and learning Picture Quote #1

Books are a world in themselves, it is true; but they are not the only world. The world itself is a volume larger than all the libraries in it Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to love libraries. You’ve got to love books. You’ve got to love poetry. You’ve got to love everything about literature. Then, you can pick the one thing you love most and write about it Picture Quote #1

Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind Picture Quote #1

Deserted libraries hold the shades of writers who worked within, and are haunted by their absence Picture Quote #1

Libraries aren’t in the real world, after all. They’re places apart, sanctuaries of pure thought. In this way I can go on living on the moon for the rest of my life Picture Quote #1

I see libraries and librarians as frontline soldiers in the war against illiteracy and the lack of imagination Picture Quote #1

I’ve always liked libraries. They’re quiet and full of books and full of knowledge Picture Quote #1

If I finish a book a week, I will read only a few thousand books in my lifetime, about a tenth of a percent of the contents of the greatest libraries of our time. The trick is to know which books to read Picture Quote #1

The library was one enormous room, with long, high metal shelves and the perfect quiet that libraries provide for anyone looking for an answer Picture Quote #1

Libraries have a special role to play in our knowledge economy. Your institutions have been and should be a place where parents and children come to read together and learn together. We should take our kids there more Picture Quote #1

I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture, and our concern for the future, can all be tested by how well we support our libraries Picture Quote #1

Libraries are what is best about us as a society: open, exciting, rich, informative, free, inclusive, engaging Picture Quote #1

I choose free libraries as the best agencies for improving the masses of the people, because they give nothing for nothing. They only help those who help themselves Picture Quote #1

Libraries are the torch of the world, illuminating the path when it feels too dark to see. We mustn’t allow that torch to be extinguished Picture Quote #1

To admit authorities, however heavily furred and gowned, into our libraries and let them tell us how to read, what to read, what value to place upon what we read, is to destroy the spirit of freedom which is the breath of those sanctuaries Picture Quote #1

If you do not value libraries then you do not value information or culture or wisdom. You are silencing the voices of the past and you are damaging the future Picture Quote #1

Our generation in the west was lucky: we had readymade gateways. We had books, paper, teachers, schools and libraries. But many in the world lack these luxuries. How do you practice without such tryout venues? Picture Quote #1

All the books we own, both read and unread, are the fullest expression of self we have at our disposal... But with each passing year, and with each whimsical purchase, our libraries become more and more able to articulate who we are, whether we read the books or not Picture Quote #1

You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world Picture Quote #1

To exact of every man who writes that he should say something new, would be to reduce authors to a small number; to oblige the most fertile genius to say only what is new, would be to contract his volumes to a few pages. Yet, surely, there ought to be some bounds to repetition; libraries ought no more to be heaped for ever with the same thoughts differently expressed, than with the same books differently decorated Picture Quote #1

Our libraries are valuable centers of education, learning and enrichment for people of all ages. In recent years, libraries have taken on an increasingly important role. Today’s libraries are about much more than books Picture Quote #1

Bedrooms and libraries ought to have an eastern exposure, because their purposes require the morning light, and also because books in such libraries will not decay Picture Quote #1

My experience with public libraries is that the first volume of the book I inquire for is out, unless I happen to want the second, when that is out Picture Quote #1

Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries Picture Quote #1

... If those only wrote, who were sure of being read, we should have fewer authors; and the shelves of libraries would not groan beneath the weight of dusty tomes more voluminous than luminous Picture Quote #1
