“We live for books.”
“Librarians know books, we live books, we breathe books, we are books.”
“We can live in a society founded on the book and yet not read, or we can live in a society where the book is merely an accessory and be, in the deepest, truest sense, a reader.”
“our lives change in two ways :through the people we meet and the books we read”
“We live for books. A sweet mission in this world dominated by disorder and decay.”
“There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we believe we left without having lived them, those we spent with a favorite book.”
