Goede boeken en slechte bibliothecarissen

For a well-rounded education, you could try curling up with good books and bad librarians - Richard Needham

Book lovers never go to bed alone.
- Unknown


People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.

A man's library is a sort of harem.

My experience with public libraries is that the first volume of the book I inquire for is out, unless I happen to want the second, when that is out.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, The Poet at the Breakfast Table

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

Libraries are the wardrobes of literature, whence men, properly informed may bring forth something for ornament, much for curiosity, and more for use.
