LIBRARY QUOTES

                

I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college. People should educate themselves - you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I'd written a thousand stories. 
Ray Bradbury 

Myself, Money, End

If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need. 
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital. 
Thomas Jefferson 

Men, Book, Long

If truth is beauty, how come no one has their hair done in the library?

My Alma mater was books, a good library... I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity. 
Malcolm X 

Rest, Reading, Books

The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading in order to write. A man will turn over half a library to make a book. 
Samuel Johnson 

Greatest, Book, Over

A library implies an act of faith. 
Victor Hugo 

Faith, Act, Library

I've been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library. 
F. Scott Fitzgerald 

Drunk, Thought, Might

A man will turn over half a library to make one book. 
Samuel Johnson 

Book, Over, Turn

No place affords a more striking conviction of the vanity of human hopes than a public library. 
Samuel Johnson 

Human, Place, Public

A library is the delivery room for the birth of ideas, a place where history comes to life. 
Norman Cousins 

History, Place, Ideas

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

Kind, Library, Paradise

I couldn't live a week without a private library - indeed, I'd part with all my furniture and squat and sleep on the floor before I'd let go of the 1500 or so books I possess. 
H. P. Lovecraft 

Live, Sleep, Without

As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself. 
Arthur Schopenhauer 

       

Yourself, Knowledge, May

I always tell people that I became a writer not because I went to school but because my mother took me to the library. I wanted to become a writer so I could see my name in the card catalog. 
Sandra Cisneros 

Mother, School, Become

Everything you need for better future and success has already been written. And guess what? All you have to do is go to the library. 
Henri Frederic Amiel 

Future, Better, Everything

To make sure that votes are never canceled out by illegal votes, we instituted a photo ID requirement. And don't you think it's fair to apply at least the same standard required to get a library card or to board an airplane? 
Rick Perry 

Same, Sure, Fair

Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads. 
Oliver Wendell Holmes 

Try, History, Library

Where I grew up, we had the three TV networks, maybe two radio stations, no cable TV. We still had a long-distance party line in our neighborhood, so you could listen to all your neighbors' phone calls. We had a very small public library, and the nearest bookstore was an hour away. 
Marc Andreessen 

Two, Small, Still

I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book. 
Groucho Marx 

Must, Book, Find

I'm not comfortable being preachy, but more people need to start spending as much time in the library as they do on the basketball court.

Need, Basketball, Start

When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy itself.

A library book, I imagine, is a happy book. 
Cornelia Funke 

Happy, Book, Library

My parents, and librarians along the way, taught me about the space between words; about the margins, where so many juicy moments of life and spirit and friendship could be found. In a library, you could find miracles and truth and you might find something that would make you laugh so hard that you get shushed, in the friendliest way. 
Anne Lamott 

Truth, Parents, Hard

I was born an only child in Vienna, Austria. My father found hours to sit by me by the library fire and tell fairy stories. 
Hedy Lamarr 

Father, Fire, Tell

I'm old enough, by a long shot, to remember going to the library and spending days researching. If I was looking for a line from a poem or something else I needed, that would be the trip I would have to take.
