Famous quotes containing the words wren and/or library:

    “Old, aching God, grey with endless care,
    calmly piercing evil’s new disguises,
    glad of good surprises, wiser than despair
    Hail and Hosanna, old, aching God!”
    —Brian Wren (b. 1936)

    “Madam, a circulating library in a town is as an evergreen tree of diabolical knowledge; it blossoms through the year. And depend on it ... that they who are so fond of handling the leaves, will long for the fruit at last.”
    —Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
