We have art so that we may not die of reality.

-Nietzsche-



"he had allowed his daughters to use his library without

restraint and nothing is more fatal to maidenly delicacy

of speech than the run of a good library"

TEMPEST TOST   Robertson Davies


"Perhaps the two most valuable and satisfactory products of
American civilization are the librarian on the one hand and
the cocktail in the other."

--Louis Stanley Jast


"I thought I'd be a librarian until I met some crazy ones."

 Edward Gorey

 (Boston Globe article, 1998, as quoted in Salon)


Diane G. Kadanoff

The buying of more books than one can read is

nothing less than the soul reaching for infinity




"Everything is held together with stories.  That is all that is
holding us

together, stories and compassion."

        - Barry Lopez, from an interview in _Poets & Writers_

          Mar/Apr. 1994


"Because of things not even remembered

we are here

listening to the water."

    W.S. Merwin/Flower and Hand

"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, _Lives of the Cowboys_

Willow: Gee, maybe we should help Giles. He might be in
danger.

Willow, that

knowledge is the ultimate weapon.

"...there are stories inside stories and stories between
stories and

finding your way through them is as easy and as hard as
finding your way

home.  And part of the finding is the getting lost.  If you're
lost, you

really start to look around and to listen."
[Metzger/PARABOLA 4:4 (1979)]
