Famous quotes containing the words public and/or library:
“Now I am in the public house and lean upon the wall,
So come in rags or come in silk, in cloak or country shawl,
And come with learned lovers or with what men you may
For I can put the whole lot down, and all I have to say
Is fol de rol de rolly O.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Knowing I loved my books, he furnished me
From mine own library with volumes that
I prize above my dukedom.”
