Famous quotes containing the word library:
“Readers transform a library from a mausoleum into many theaters.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“A mans library is a sort of harem.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Our civilization has decided ... that determining the guilt or innocence of men is a thing too important to be trusted to trained men.... When it wants a library catalogued, or the solar system discovered, or any trifle of that kind, it uses up its specialists. But when it wishes anything done which is really serious, it collects twelve of the ordinary men standing round. The same thing was done, if I remember right, by the Founder of Christianity.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (18741936)
