I actually had this has my #FridayFavorites | Quotes topic this past Friday. So, instead I’m going to have quotes that are all about books, bookstores, and libraries.
I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library.
Jorge Luis Borges
The only thing you absolutely have to know is the location of the library
Albert Einstein
No. I can survive well enough on my own— if given the proper reading material.
Sarah J. Maas Throne of Glass
A town isn’t a town without a bookstore.
Neil Gaiman
One must always be careful of books and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us.
Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel
If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.
Oscar Wilde
When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
I have a print of this Jane Austen quote in my apartment!
You want weapons? We’re in a library. Books are the best weapon in the world. This room’s the greatest arsenal we could have. Arm yourself!
The Doctor, Tooth and Claw
You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.
C.S. Lewis
Tsundoku: (n.) buying books and not reading them; letting books pile up unread on shelves or floors or nightstands.
Japanese word
Some lovely quotes here about books, and we shared a few of them too! Please do check out my list of (far more than ten) favourite Shakespeare and bookish quotations!
Oh the amount of Shakespeare quotes I like…
I’ve always tried to remember this one as an educator:
“But look I think the most important thing is that we need to actually teach kids that books aren’t like broccoli. You don’t have to eat every bit on your plate.”
I absolutely love this quote!
I really enjoyed reading these quotes! ALL of them spoke to my bookish, literature-loving self.

The only thing you absolutely have to know is the location of the library.
I always think of this quote whenever I start a new language and one of the first things they teach you to ask is, ‘where is the library?’ 😀
I couldn’t agree with Einstein more. 🙂

I have a print of that Throne of Glass one on my wall, it’s one of my favourites too!

I love that you choose to focus on bookish quotes—and so many great ones at that! The Jorge Luis Borges one, though, is perfection.
The Borges quote is currently my screensaver!
