Bowen Hills

Famous quotes containing the words bowen and/or hills:

“In early days, I tried not to give librarians any trouble, which was where I made my primary mistake. Librarians like to be given trouble; they exist for it, they are geared to it. For the location of a mislaid volume, an uncatalogued item, your good librarian has a ferret’s nose. Give her a scent and she jumps the leash, her eye bright with battle.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)

“I am going to my own hearthstone,
Bosom’d in yon green hills alone—
A secret nook in a pleasant land,”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
