“[L]ibrarians, like ministers of religion, and poets, and people with mental health disorders, can make people nervous.”
― Ian Sansom

“Those who can, do; those who can't learn classification and cataloguing.”
― Ian Sansom, The Book Stops Here
― Ian Sansom, The Book Stops Here
“But then twitching nervously in the presence of a librarian wasn't an uncommon response—librarians, like ministers of religion, and poets, and people with serious mental health disorders, can make people nervous. Librarians possess a kind of occult power, an aura. They could silence people with just a glance. At least, they did in Israel's fantasies. In Israel's fantasies, librarians were mild-mannered superheroes, with extrasensory perceptions and a highly developed sense of responsibility who demanded respect from everyone they met. In reality, Israel couldn't silence even Mrs Onions on her mobile phone when she was disturbing other readers.”
