“Public libraries have been a mainstay of my life. They represent an individual's right to acquire knowledge; they are the sinews that bind civilized societies the world over. Without libraries, I would be a pauper, intellectually and spiritually.”

“To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books.”

“But we're a university! Weto have a library!" said Ridcully. "It adds. What sort of people would we be if we didn't go into the library?"

"Students," said Senior Wrangler morosely.”

“No world is without sacrifices. But if we produce casualties, we would also sustain casualties of our own.”

“In my world there would be as many public libraries as there are Starbucks.”

“Our dignity is not in what we do, but in what we understand. The whole world is doing things.”

“If we give what we treasure most to a Being we love with all our hearts, if we can do that without expecting anything in return, then the world becomes a beautiful place.”

“The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the worlds problems.”

“Is fine - as long as no one comes
And asks us what we do there…
We'd have to say, Without our toil,
Just who would know it grew there?”
