"A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thing book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat."
"Never lend books, for no one ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have left me."
"Always in my books, I like to throw that rogue element into a stable situation and then see what happens."
"Books that you carry to the fire, and hold readily in your hand, are most useful after all."
"Books can not be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can abolish memory... In this war, we know, books are weapons. And it is a part of your dedication always to make them weapons for man's freedom."
