“Libraries are our friends.”
“Libraries are places where the damaged go to find friends”
“Reading is at the center of our lives. The library is our brain. Without the library, you have no civilization.”
“Our library isn't very extensive," said Anne, "but every book in it is a friend. We've picked our books up through the years, here and there, never buying one until we had first read it and knew that it belonged to the race of Joseph.”
“That perfect tranquility of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good library.”
“Libraries and museums are the DNA of our culture.”
