Quotes by Jane Stanton Hitchcock  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Libraries are like houses of worship: Whether or not you use them yourself, it's important to know that they are there. In many ways they define a society and the values of that society. Librarians to me are the keepers of the flame of knowledge. When I was growing up, the librarian in my local library looked like a meek little old lady, but after you spent some time with her, you realized she was Athena with a sword, a wise and wonderful repository of wisdom.”
Jane Stanton Hitchcock

“People are only taken seriously as they take themselves.”
Jane Stanton Hitchcock, Mortal Friends

“it's much more interesting to try and understand what binds two people together. why we stay with each other is much more of a mystery than why we don't.”
Jane Stanton Hitchcock, Mortal Friends
