uoterGal is pretty much the only reason I hang out on MySpace.com. She gives good quote :-) here are some examples from her current profile:
"In hard times, libraries are more important than ever. Human beings need what books give them better than any other medium. Since those ancient nights around prehistoric campfires, we have needed myth. And heroes. And moral tales. And information about the world beyond the nearest mountains or oceans. Today, with books and movies more expensive than ever, and television entertainment in free fall to the lowest levels of stupidity, freely circulating books are an absolute necessity. They are quite simply another kind of food. We imagine, and then we live." — Pete Hamill
"I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library." — Jorge Luis Borge
"Librarians see themselves as the guardians of the First Amendment. You got a thousand Mother Joneses at the barricades. I love the librarians, and I am grateful for them." — Michael Moore
"He had allowed his daughters to use his library without restraint, and nothing is more fatal to maidenly delicacy of speech than the run of a good library." — Robertson Davies
