The books were in no particular order, and Lundy found the process of sorting them remarkably soothing, involving, as it did, a strange sort of scavenger hunt through the entire shack. Books had been used to prop up tables and level out shelves; they were piled on surfaces where books had no business being and tucked under the edge of the thin mattress of the Archivist's bed. In the case of books that had become load-bearing, Lundy used her school ruler to carefully note their heights and went searching for rocks or pieces of scrap wood that would do the job as well, if not better. In the case of books left too near to water or exposed to the air, she rolled her eyes and whisked them away to literary safety. ~ Seanan McGuire
Archivists quotes by Seanan McGuire
Ro trails his hands against the wall as he walks. The archivists look at him as he passes. Ro is good at irritating people; he'll find the one thing you don't want him to do, and do it every time. It's one of his many gifts. ~ Margaret Stohl
Archivists quotes by Margaret Stohl
Now that Janet and Frances were older, Grandpa would let them visit him in his study, where the parrot lived. Grandpa came from a long line of parrot-keeping men, and Polly's predecessor, a white cockatoo, had fought with Wellington's armies in the Napoleonic Wars. Janet's father's earliest memories were of the astonishing oaths known to this bird, who was then a hundred and two years old and spoke in ripe gamey accents long since gone from the world of men. Grandpa believed that there must be a fair number of such long-lived birds in Scotland - even perhaps in England - and it would have been a fine thing to have them all gathered in a great dining hall, invoking ghostly midshipmen and dragoons, violent drinkers and merry rhymesters, perhaps even occasionally a lady of refinement. This, he said, would afford a historical experience of rare value; indeed, ancient parrots should be fêted and cultivated as true archivists. ~ Elspeth Barker
Archivists quotes by Elspeth Barker
He told me that archivists and librarians were opposite personas. True librarians are unsentimental. They're pragmatic, concerned with the newest, cleanest, most popular books. Archivists, on the other hand, are only peripherally interested in what other people like, and much prefer the rare to the useful. ~ Avi Steinberg
Archivists quotes by Avi Steinberg
I have 17 full-time archivists working for me who put away in books all the diversity of artwork I do, from drawing to etching to monotypes to prints to lithographs. ~ Peter Max
Archivists quotes by Peter Max
I love photography and first editions. I have that in my genes. My father was an archivist. ~ Winona Ryder
Archivists quotes by Winona Ryder
There are people who call themselves Archivists ... Back when the Hundred Committee made their selections, the Archivists knew the works that didn't get selected would become a commodity. so they saved some of them. The Archivists have illegal ports, ones they've built themselves, for storing things ... ~ Allie Condie
Archivists quotes by Allie Condie
Do not become archivists of facts. Try to penetrate to the secret of their occurrence, persistently search for the laws which govern them. ~ Ivan Pavlov
Archivists quotes by Ivan Pavlov
Most archivists don't like surprises. That's why we work in the past. ~ Brad Meltzer
Archivists quotes by Brad Meltzer
Thus, the Archivist must display at all times scrupulous independence and a devotion to the laws and principles which govern the responsibilities of the office. ~ Allen Weinstein
Archivists quotes by Allen Weinstein
My work is whatever I want it to be, and I report to no one regularly. The head librarian
the man in charge of the University's entire collection
is a figurehead, well-to-do and poorly read, with whom I have only perfunctory contact. ~ Martha Cooley
Archivists quotes by Martha Cooley
For the Archivist, this role is a result of his obligation to preserve and assure timely and maximum access to our governmental records in the evolving historic saga of the American people. ~ Allen Weinstein
Archivists quotes by Allen Weinstein
And even if I fail-this is always the archivist's consolation-perhaps I will have laid a foundation for someone wiser. ~ Robin Sloan
Archivists quotes by Robin Sloan
So where does one go in such a wobbly, elusive, dynamic, confusing age? Wherever the librarians and archivists are.
They're sorting it all out for us. ~ Marilyn Johnson
Archivists quotes by Marilyn Johnson
What can I say, I'm a sucker for abandoned stuff, misplaced stuff, forgotten stuff, any old stuff which despite the light of progress and all that, still vanishes every day like shadows at noon, goings unheralded, passings unourned, well, you get the drift. ~ Mark Z. Danielewski
