A mind too proud to unbend over the small ridiculosa of life is as painful as a library with no trash in it.
He had been so busy getting away from the library, he hadn't paid attention to where he was going.
I'm old enough, by a long shot, to remember going to the library and spending days researching. If I was looking for a line from a poem or something else I needed, that would be the trip I would have to take.
There are 10,000 books in my library, and it will keep growing until I die. This has exasperated my daughters, amused my friends and baffled my accountant. If I had not picked up this habit in the library long ago, I would have more money in the bank today; I would not be richer.
I was raised in rural south Jersey, and there was no culture there. There was a small library, and that was it. There was nothing else.
Problems of human behavior still continue to baffle us, but at least in the Library we have them properly filed.
I taught myself more in the library than school taught me.
Security can be found in renunciation of ownership over people, money, and real assets; to gain, keep or protect that which others need for periods of legitimate access. A lending library enables people to help themselves to information; a locked-up book collection is useful only to the person who owns it.
Every time you enter a library you might say to yourself, "The world is quiet here," as a sort of pledge proclaiming reading to be the greater good.
A great library easily begets affection, which may deepen into love.
A library is a growing organism.
Library books were, I suddenly realized, promiscuous, ready to lie down in the arms of anyone who asked. Not like bookstore books, which married their purchasers, or were brokered for marriages to others.
I'm in the film industry, and I very seldom go to the theater now. It could be work, not being in New York, that sort thing - because in New York, you do go to theaters; you can walk to a theater and then walk to a restaurant. But in places you have to drive out to the cineplex to see a movie, it's starting not to be worth it anymore. It's like the days when you went to get a book at the public library. You don't have to do that anymore. You just go on your iPad and all of a sudden you're reading The Duchess of Malfi.
I often find things at thrift stores and library sales that I never could have been looking for. In those cases, the research is done after the fact to figure out what, exactly, I've found. It's surprising how much out there still has no online presence.
Books are but dead bodies to you, and a library nothing but a catacomb!
My favorite language for maintainability is Python. It has simple, clean syntax, object encapsulation, good library support, and optional named parameters.
Libraries are the wardrobes of literature.
Libraries are my passion in life. Before I became mayor (of Los Angeles), I used to sneak out here during lunchtime. . . and I'd go to a corner and take a book-any book almost-and read it for a while, and then feel rejuvenated.
For I bless God in the libraries of the learned and for all the booksellers in the world.
She thougt of sunrise over the library slope at Cornell University that nobody out on it had seen because the slope faces west.
