The library is the temple of learning,
and learning has liberated more
people than all the wars in history.
?Carl Rowan
Some on commission, some for the love of learning,
some because they have nothing better to do or
because they hope these walls of books will deaden
the drumming of the demon in their ears.
?Louis Macneice
To a historian libraries are food,
shelter, and even muse.
?Barbara Tuchman
The colleges, while they provide us with
libraries, furnish no professors of books;
and I think no chair is so much needed.
?Ralph Waldo Emerson
The quantity of books in a person's
library, is often a cloud of witnesses
to the ignorance of the owner.
?Count Axel Gustafsson Oxenstierna
Without libraries what have we?
We have no past and no future.
?Ray Bradbury
