Libraries' most powerful asset is the conversation they provide - between books and readers, between children and parents, between individuals and the collective world. Take them away and those voices turn inwards or vanish. Turns out that libraries have nothing at all to do with silence.

Bella Bathurst

We're competing with everything: the beach, the mall, bookstores. Libraries are in a transition right now, caught between two forces, the old ways and technology. Libraries are under a lot of pressure to provide both.

John Callahan

The physical manifestation of gold is nothing more than the physical manifestation of value itself.

Bernard von NotHaus

...bookstores, libraries... they're the closest thing I have to a church.

Jim C. Hines

The branches of mathematics are as various as the sciences to which they belong, and each subject of physical enquiry has its appropriate mathematics. In every form of material manifestation, there is a corresponding form of human thought, so that the human mind is as wide in its range of thought as the physical universe in which it thinks.

Benjamin Peirce

I learned more about history and literature in the used bookstores in DC than in college libraries.

Douglas Brinkley

Capitalism, perhaps at its most remorseless, is a physical manifestation of psychopathy.

Jon Ronson

To create and to annihilate material substance, cause it to aggregate in forms according to his desire, would be the supreme manifestation of the power of Man's mind, his most complete triumph over the physical world.

Nikola Tesla

I have done quite a few signings at bookstores, libraries and conferences. I have received phone calls and letters from people who liked the book.

Kate DiCamillo

Your friends are really an extension of your vision of the world. It's kind of a physical manifestation of how you feel. Like your soul.

Richard Linklater

I go to Amazon to browse for things I can then go find at the mall. It's like window shopping online. I want to touch the things that I buy. I am the kid who still likes actual books, bookstores, and libraries.

Marley Dias

Everest for me, and I believe for the world, is the physical and symbolic manifestation of overcoming odds to achieve a dream

Junko Tabei

I like the physical activity of gardening. It's kind of thrilling. I do a lot of weeding.

John Hurt

Throughout my formal education I spent many, many hours in public and school libraries. Libraries became courts of last resort, as it were. The current definitive answer to almost any question can be found within the four walls of most libraries.

Arthur Ashe

I have always had a special affinity for libraries and librarians, for the most obvious reasons. I love books. (One of my first Jobs was shelving books at a branch of the Chicago Public Library.) Libraries are a pillar of any society. I believe our lack of attention to funding and caring for them properly in the United States has a direct bearing on problems of literacy, productivity, and our inability to compete in today's world. Libraries are everyman's free university.

John Jakes

Sitting with a deck of cards in your hand all day is an obsession. Visiting print shops and bookstores and libraries is an obsession. And writing about this is an obsession. I think, in general, most collectors are obsessed. I think the only form of a rationalized greed is when you're collecting something you are supposedly serious about.
