1 " We find paradise in every library and bookshop. "
― Lailah Gifty Akita , Think Great: Be Great! (Beautiful Quotes, #1)
2 " There are species on this planet we've never seen. They live in lands and seas that no human has ever explored, and they are struggling to survive in a world unknown to us...We destroy their homes. And then they are gone, before we even have a chance to meet them. Every species on this planet tells a story, an evolutionary novel packed with generations upon generations of knowledge. Letting those species disappear is like setting fire to every library on earth...the key to understanding life itself- is right here: millions of years of trial and error, data we can never even hope to accrue on our own...The only way we will ever learn what animals have to teach us about ourselves- about life- is if we keep them around. "
3 " If every library is in some sense a reflection of its readers, it is also an image of that which we are not, and cannot be. "
― Alberto Manguel , The Library at Night
4 " It may be that I link every library to that first one - to my early childhood experience of drawing on the floor near my father's desk. A library is of course a real place, but it is also an unreal one. What happens there is mostly silent. I think I've always liked the whispering aspect of libraries, the hushing librarians and my feeling of solitude among many. "
― Siri Hustvedt , A Plea for Eros: Essays
5 " Some believe that every library looks like a splendid cemetery of human thoughts and ideas. Could librarians be called grave-diggers? However that may be, like a cemetery, a library will never stop being of use. "
― Lara Biyuts
6 " On less lucid evenings, every library is a haunted cemetery. "
