“A university is just a group of buildings gathered around a library.”

“There’s a vast fraternity of record collectors, and the record store was their hub. There was not a lot of information on these groups or the labels so you’d gather [there] and it would be like a library. - Lenny Kaye quoted”

“My studies are going well. The university library is my second home now. They've had to get me a private room because it takes me only a second to absorb the printed page, and curious students invariably gather around me as I flip through my books.”

“To build up a library is to create a life. It's never just a random collection of books.”

“The basic capabilities of tools like Flickr reverse the old order of group activity, transforming 'gather, then share' into 'share, then gather'.”

“You build a thousand castles, a thousand sanctuaries, you are nothing; you build a library, you are everything!”
