Stuart

“Second-hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack. Besides, in this random miscellaneous company we may rub against some complete stranger who will, with luck, turn into the best friend we have in the world.”
― Virginia Woolf, Street Haunting

“Of course it's alright for librarians to smell of drink.”
― Barbara Pym, Less Than Angels

“Rule number one: Don't fuck with librarians.”
― Neil Gaiman

“Never argue with a librarian; they know too much.”
― Carole Nelson Douglas, Cat in a Red Hot Rage
