Library quotes

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. (Groucho Marx)

Librarian is a service occupation. Gas station attendant of the mind.

Information is the manager's main tool, indeed the manager's "capital," and it is he who must decide what information he needs and how to use it. (Peter Drucker)

A democratic society depends upon an informed and educated citizenry. (Thomas Jefferson)

The library connects us with the insight and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species. I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries. (Carl Sagan)
