Library Quotations

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

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

If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.
Frank Zappa

A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.
Henry Ward Beecher
