Kindly share library and reading related quotes here in this page.

Some of my inputs are

* It’s no use going to college unless the library is your final destination.

* None is poor save him that lacks knowledge.

* Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

* Knowledge is free at the library just bring your container.

* Let a great book open your heart at library.

* An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.

* Knowledge is not given but earned and character is not granted but cultivated.

* Knowledge is the true organ of sight, not the eyes.

* Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.

* The reward of one duty done is the power to fulfill another.

"A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert."

Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919)

"Libraries are magical places. The first books I fell in love with were library books. As I child, I would take out stacks too high to carry and pine over them when they had to go back - until, fickle, I fell in love with a new stack of stories."

Robin Black

A university is just a group of buildings gathered around a library 
— Shelby Foote

A good library is a place, a palace where the lofty spirits of all nations and generations meet. 
— Samuel NIGER (1883-1956)

Libraries are not made; they grow. 
— "Book Buying". Obiter Dicta. 
Augustine BIRRELL (1850-1933)

The library is not a shrine for the worship of books. It is not a temple where literary incense must be burned or where one's devotion to the bound book is expressed in ritual. A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas - a place where history comes to life. 
— Cited in ALA Bulletin, Oct. 1954, p.475 
Norman COUSINS (1915- )

Libraries are the wardrobes of literature, whence men, properly informed may bring forth something for ornament, much for curiosity, and more for use. 
— William DYER (1636-1696)

A man will turn over half a library to make one book.
— Life of Johnson. From James Boswell, April 6, 1775. 
Samuel JOHNSON (1709-1784)

"A LIBRARY IS A DELIVER ROOM, WHERE NEW IDEAS ARE BORN"

                                                                                         -----Unknown

  1. Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists),
  2. Has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood).
  3. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,
  4. Who has taught (the writing) by the pen
  5. Has taught man that which he knew not.

-Qur’an 96 (1-5)

(this is the first revealed versus of Holy Quran)
