State Library

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or library:

“The only way into truth is through one’s own annihilation; through dwelling a long time in a state of extreme and total humiliation.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)

“That a famous library has been cursed by a woman is a matter of complete indifference to a famous library. Venerable and calm, with all its treasures safe locked within its breast, it sleeps complacently and will, so far as I am concerned, so sleep forever. Never will I wake these echoes, never will I ask for that hospitality again ...”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
