“Mary Kay is one of the secret masters of the world: a librarian. They control information. Don’t ever piss one off.”

“Most people don’t realize how important librarians are. I ran across a book recently which suggested that the peace and prosperity of a culture was solely related to how many librarians it contained. Possibly a slight overstatement.

— Neil Gaiman (The Sandman. Line spoken by Lucien, Librarian of the Dreaming)
“Show me a computer expert that gives a damn, and I’ll show you a librarian.”
— Patricia Wilson Berger (Chicago Tribune article, 29 June 1990, Tempo section, p. 1)
