Isabel Allende
“The library is inhabited by spirits that come out of the pages at night.”
Isabel Allende

Martha Cooley
“In a few minutes I heard the books' voices: a low, steady, unsupressible hum. I'd heard it many times before. I've always had a finely tuned ear for a library's accumulations of echo and desire. Libraries are anything but hushed.”
Martha Cooley, The Archivist

Germaine Greer
“Libraries are reservoirs of strength, grace and wit, reminders of order, calm and continuity, lakes of mental energy, neither warm nor cold, light nor dark ... In any library in the world, I am at home, unselfconscious, still and absorbed."

[Still in Melbourne January 1987]”
Germaine Greer, Daddy, We Hardly Knew You

Margaret Atwood
“I read for pleasure and that is the moment I learn the most.”
Margaret Atwood

Doris Lessing
“A public library is the most democratic thing in the world. What can be found there has undone dictators and tyrants: demagogues can persecute writers and tell them what to write as much as they like, but they cannot vanish what has been written in the past, though they try often enough... People who love literature have at least part of their minds immune from indoctrination. If you read, you can learn to think for yourself.”
Doris Lessing
