“You are a total stranger and you want to take my library book.”

“I don't browse in bookshops, I browse in libraries, where you can take a book home and read it, and if you like it you go to a bookshop and buy it.”

“When you steal from the library, you are preventing anyone else from reading that book, and the very notion makes me want to drop you in the Void.”

“Go anywhere you wish, talk to everyone. Ask any questions; you will be given answers. When you want to learn, you will be taught. Use the library. Open any book.”

“Are you proud of yourself tonight that you have insulted a total stranger whose circumstances you know nothing about?”

“Libraries really are wonderful. They're better than bookshops, even. I mean bookshops make a profit on selling you books, but libraries just sit there lending you books quietly out of the goodness of their hearts.”

“If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.”

“You took out a book on blow-job technique from the British Library? They shouldn't have books like that in there!”

“It's you my love, you who are the stranger.”

“If you steal any of the books from the library, I will know, and you'll be sorry.
