Famous quotes containing the words branch and/or library:
“What can the dove of Jesus give
You now but wisdom, exile? Stand and live,
The dove has brought an olive branch to eat.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“That a famous library has been cursed by a woman is a matter of complete indifference to a famous library.

—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
