Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or library:

    “Bohemia is nothing more than the little country in which you do not live. If you try to obtain citizenship in it, at once the court and retinue pack the royal archives and treasure and move away beyond the hills.”
    —O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)

    “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)
