We are of opinion that instead of letting books grow moldy behind an iron grating, far from the vulgar gaze, it is better to let them wear out by being read.


Jules Verne

I mean, I don’t know how the world broke. And I don’t know if there’s a God who can help us fix it. But the fact that the world is broken - I absolutely believe that. Just look around us. Every minute - every single second - there are a million things you could be thinking about. A million things you could be worrying about. Our world - don’t you just feel we’re becoming more fragmented? I used to think that when I got older, the world would make so much more sense. But you know what? The older I get, the more confusing it is to me. The more complicated it is. Harder. You’d think we’d be getting better at it. But there’s just more and more chaos. The pieces - they’re everywhere. And nobody knows what to do about it. I find myself grasping, Nick. You know that feeling? That feeling when you just want the right thing to fall into the right place, not only because it’s right, but because it would mean that such a thing is still possible? I want to believe that.


Rachel Cohn

When I am at a straight club, which is like once a year, if a man even looks in my direction, I verbally attack him.

Sometimes, looking at the many books I have at home, I feel I shall die before I come to the end of them, yet I cannot resist the temptation of buying new books. Whenever I walk into a bookstore and find a book on one of my hobbies — for example, Old English or Old Norse poetry — I say to myself, “What a pity I can’t buy that book, for I already have a copy at home.


Jorge Luis Borges

يظن الغمر أن الكتب تهدى ... ... أخاً فهم لإدراك العلوم وما يدرى الجهول بأن فيها ... ... غوامض حيرت عقل الفهيم إذا رمت العلوم بغير شيخ ... ... ضللت عن الصراط المستقيم وتلتبس الأمور عليك حتى ... ... تصير أضل من 'توما الحكيم

As I stood outside in Cow Lane, it occurred to me that Heaven must be a place where the library is open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. No ... eight days a week.

Don't mark up the Library's copy, you fool! Librarians are Unprankable. They'll track you down! They have skills!


Charles Ogden

In a library we are surrounded by many hundreds of dear friends imprisoned by an enchanter in paper and leathern boxes.
