“People think librarians are unromantic, unimaginative. This is not true. We are people whose dreams run in particular ways. Ask a mountain climber what he feels when he sees a mountain; a lion tamer what goes through his mind when he meets a new lion; a doctor confronted with a beautiful malfunctioning body. The idea of a library full of books, the books full of knowledge, fills me with fear and love and courage and endless wonder.” PeopleThinkingWayFeelsMindBookIdeasDreamBodyRunningBeautifulAsksWonderParticularMountainDoctorsAnd LoveLibraryEndlessLionsLibrarianClimbersLove And FearLove And CourageMountain Climbers Author:Elizabeth McCracken
“Despite popular theories, I believe people fall in love based not on good looks or fate but on knowledge. Either they are amazed by something a beloved knows that they themselves do not know; or they discover a common rare knowledge; or they can supply knowledge to someone who's lacking. Hasn't everyone found a strange ignorance in someone beguiling? . . .Nowadays, trendy librarians, wanting to be important, say, Knowledge is power. I know better. Knowledge is love.” PeopleKnowsBelieveLooksImportantFallFoundI BelieveCommonFateIgnoranceStrangeTheoryFalling In LoveDespiteBelovedLackingAmazedLooking GoodLibrarianKnowledge Is PowerTrendy Author:Elizabeth McCracken
