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

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

Virginia Woolf
“Books are everywhere; and always the same sense of adventure fills us. 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

Garrison Keillor
“Librarians, Dusty, possess a vast store of politeness. These are people who get asked regularly the dumbest questions on God's green earth. These people tolerate every kind of crank and eccentric and mouth breather there is.”
Garrison Keillor, Dusty And Lefty: The Lives of the Cowboys

“Don't mark up the Library's copy, you fool! Librarians are Unprankable. They'll track you down! They have skills!”
Charles Ogden
