Cathedral Library

Famous quotes containing the words cathedral and/or library:

“The charm, one might say the genius of memory, is that it is choosy, chancy, and temperamental: it rejects the edifying cathedral and indelibly photographs the small boy outside, chewing a hunk of melon in the dust.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

“A man’s library is a sort of harem.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
