“You must live feverishly in a library. Colleges are not going to do any good unless you are raised and live in a library everyday of your life.”
“Come indoors then, and open the books on your library shelves. For you have a library and a good one. A working library, a living library; a library where nothing is chained down and nothing is locked up; a library where the songs of the singers rise naturally from the lives of the livers.”
“Live in the library, for Christ’s sake! Don’t live on your goddamn computers and the internet and all that crap. Go to the library!”
“If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.”
“There's no use going to school unless your final destination is the library.”
“Reading is at the center of our lives. The library is our brain. Without the library, you have no civilization.”
