Famous quotes containing the words public and/or library:
“Take example by your father, my boy, and be wery careful o’ vidders all your life, specially if they’ve kept a public house, Sammy.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“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 (1874–1936)
