About This Quote
This quote is a bit of a joke. Billy Joel is known for his smart lyrics and witty comments so it's no surprise this quote is a little tongue-in-cheek. The idea that if we had a dollar for every hour we spent in the library, we'd probably never have to work for money again is a cute way of pointing out the fact that we could never have enough money. It’s also a great way of pointing out how much time we spend working and studying.
