You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where
people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our
policy of employing wild animals as librarians.
-Monty Python skit
The habbit of reading is the only enjoyment in which there is no alloy;
it lasts when all other pleasures fade.
-Anthony Trollope
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
-Cicero
They are the books, the arts, the academes,
That show, contain and nourish all the world.
-William Shakespeare Love's Labour's Lost Act iv Scene iii
Come, and take choice of all my library,
and so beguile thy sorrow.
-William Shakespeare Titus Andronicus
All that mankind has done,thought, gained or been--
it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books.
-Thomas Carlyle
"I never thought to look in here!'" she whispered excitedly.
"I got this out of the library weeks ago for a bit of light reading."
-Hermione "Granger Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
I have good reason to be content, for thank God I can read
and perhaps understand Shakespeare to his depths.
-John Keats
A forbidden writing is thought to be a certain spark of truth,
that flies up in the face of them that seek to tread it out.

spirit of the society and leads to its intellectualimpoverishment.

The end of a novel, like the end of a children's dinner-party,
must be made up of sweetmeats and sugar-plums.
-Anthony Trollope Barchester Towers
"I shall divide every moment between music and reading.
I have formed my plan, and am determined to enter on a
course of serious study.Our own library is too well know
to me, to be resorted to for anything beyond mere amusement.
But there are many works well worth reading, at the Park;
and there are others of more modern production which
I know I can borrow of Colonel Brandon. By reading only six hours a-day.
I shall gain in the course of a twelvemonth a great deal of instruction
which I now feel myself to want." spoken by Marianne
-Jane Austen Sense and Sensibility
