Famous quotes containing the words shakespeare and/or library:
“A walking shadow, a poor player,

—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“That a famous library has been cursed by a woman is a matter of complete indifference to a famous library.

Never will I wake these echoes, never will I ask for that hospitality again ...”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
