Library Building

Famous quotes containing the words library and/or building:

“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)

“The legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, ... thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.”
