Libraries are not made, they grow.
~ Augustine Birrell ~


A library is a hospital for the mind.
~ Anonymous ~


I've traveled the world twice over,
Met the famous; saints and sinners,
Poets and artists, kings and queens,
Old stars and hopeful beginners,
I've been where no-one's been before,
Learned secrets from writers and cooks
All with one library ticket
To the wonderful world of books.
~ Anonymous ~


Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
~ Joseph Addison ~


When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young.
~ Maya Angelou ~


To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful, ready always to apprehend in the flow of language the sudden flash of poetry.
~ Gaston Bachelard ~


Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.
~ Francis Bacon ~


A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors.
~ Henry Ward Beecher ~


Books, I found, had the power to make time stand still, retreat or fly into the future.
~ Jim Bishop ~


A wonderful thing about a book, in contrast to a computer screen, is that you can take it to bed with you.
~ Daniel J. Boorstin ~


I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.
~ Jorge Luis Borges ~


The closest we will ever come to an orderly universe is a good library.
~ Ashleigh Brilliant ~
