Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or library:

    “Here was a royal fellowship of death.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “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)
