“[On libraries] What's great about them is that anybody can go into them and find a book and borrow it free of charge and read it. They don't have to steal it from a bookshop... You know when you're young, you're growing up, they're almost sexually exciting places because books are powerhouses of knowledge, and therefore they're kind of slightly dark and dangerous. You see books that kind of make you go 'Oh!'” KnowsKindBookYoungDarkGrowing UpGrowingDangerousExcitingLibraryStealingSexuallyBookshops Author:Stephen Fry
“I really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group. They are subversive. You think they're just sitting there at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them. You know, they've had their budgets cut. They're paid nothing. Books are falling apart. The libraries are just like the ass end of everything, right?” ThinkingKnowsMenBookEndsFallRealizingCuttingGroupsDangerousRevolutionQuietSittingPaidLibraryAssMessBudgetsDesksFalling ApartLibrarianSubversiveBudget Cuts Author:Michael Moore
“The Library didn't only contain magical books, the ones which are chained to their shelves and are very dangerous. It also contained perfectly ordinary books, printed on commonplace paper in mundane ink. It would be a mistake to think that they weren't also dangerous, just because reading them didn't make fireworks go off in the sky. Reading them sometimes did the more dangeous trick of making fireworks go off in the privacy of the reader's brain.” ThinkingBookSometimesWould BeReadingMistakeBrainSkyDangerousReaderPaperOrdinaryLibraryTricksPrivacyShelvesInkPrintedMundaneCommonplaceFireworksChained Book:Soul Music: (Discworld Novel 16) Source: Soul Music: (Discworld Novel 16)
“One potential long-term problem with many current digital libraries is that they grew out of and aresupported by bricks-and-mortar libraries. Although there is nothing inherently wrong with that arrangement, inreality it creates a potentially dangerous situation that I call "the other digital divide."” LongProblemTermSituationDangerousGrewLibraryCurrentsLong TermDigitalDividesArrangementsBricksMortarDangerous SituationsBricks And MortarDigital Divide Author:Tom Peters
