A few from my signature quotations file. Not all have to do with libraries--some are just memorable.

"A couple of months in the laboratory can frequently save a couple of hours in the library." 
--Frank Westheimer

"I really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group. They are subversive. You think they are just sitting there at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them."

“It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.”
“I'd take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day.”

What's the point of a rhetorical question?
--Jeremy Hardy

What do we want? Evidence based science!
When do we want it? After peer review!
--Anon

Truth is hard, shallowness is easy.
--David Rothkopf
 
Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.
--Scout Finch (Harper Lee)

--Richard Powers

Keep calm and call a librarian 
--Anonymous

Be nice to the archivist or she will erase you from history.  
--Anonymous

Don’t join the book burners.  Don’t think you’re going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they never existed.  Don’t be afraid to go in your library and read every book.  
--Dwight D. Eisenhower

Librarians are good for circulation 
--Anonymous

Should not the Society of Indexers be known as Indexers, Society of, The?

Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries. 
--Anne Herbert

My two favorite things in life are libraries and bicycles.  They both move people forward without wasting anything. The perfect day: riding a bike to the library. 
--Peter Golkin

This quote is often falsely attributed to Mark Twain.
--Mark Twain (attrib.)

I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.
--Terry Pratchett

I became a journalist at 17. A few hours later, I saw my first dead body, which was somewhat... colourful. That's when I learned you can go on throwing up after you run out of things to throw up.
--Terry Pratchett

Not to know is bad. Not to wish to know is worse.
--African Proverb

I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.
--Lily Tomlin (attrib)

Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
--Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt

The logical mind, the precision, is the same that’s involved in math as in lyrics. It’s like a puzzle, to write a song.
--Tom Lehrer
