A good library will never be too neat, or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them.

You don't spend your life hanging around books without learning a thing or two.

With a library it is easier to hope for serendipity than to look for a precise answer.

No matter who you are, no matter where you live, and no matter how many people are chasing you, what you don't read is often as important as what you do read.

Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.

All the secrets of the world are contained in books. Read at your own risk.
