Famous quotes containing the words client and/or libraries:

    A client is to me a mere unit, a factor in a problem.
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    riding flatcars to Fresno,
    Across the whole country
    Steep towns, flat towns, even New York,
    And oceans and Europe & libraries & galleries
    And the factories they make rubbers in
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
