Two of my favorites:  not specifically about art libraries, but could be!

  --     “You must live feverishly in a library. Colleges are not going to do any
good unless you are raised and live in a library everyday of your life.”  --- Ray Bradbury


---    “I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”  --- Jorge Luis Borges  (writer, and National Librarian of Argentina. (b1899)

“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”
Groucho Marx
