"When I was a child in the Navy during World War II, I was perennially grateful to the armed services libraries for having on hand a good supply of those pocket books, which were so common in that period. I must have read a couple hundred of them, and they did a lot to save my sanity." - James A. Michener

[Quote No.24763] Need Area: Fun > Books
"A library represents the mind of its collector, his fancies and foibles, his strength and weakness, his prejudices and preferences. Particularly is this the case if to the character of a collector he adds - or tries to add- the qualities of a student who wishes to know the books and the lives of the men who wrote them. The friendships of his life, the phases of his growth, the vagaries of his mind, all are represented." - Sir William Osler

"I go into my library, and all history unrolls before me.

I see the pyramids building; I hear the shoutings of the armies of Alexander." - Alexander Smith

"One of the powerful functions of a library - any library [and its books] - lies in its ability to take us away from worlds that are familiar and comfortable and into ones which we can neither predict nor control, to lead us down new roads whose contours and vistas provide us with new perspectives. [so we can grow in understanding, wisdom, compassion, success and happiness]" - Richard F. Thomas

Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood,
Our pastime and our happiness will grow.

That sense that I am in the company of the greatest people who ever lived is a humbling experience but a liberating experience." - Pete Hamill
