Thought for the Day

"No Person younger than 20 years is on any pretext to enter the Library. Be suspicious of Women. They are given to the Reading of frivolous Romances, and at all events their presence in a Library addes little to (if it does not, indeed, detract from) that aspect of Gravity, Seriousness, and Learning which is its greatest Glory. You will make no error in excluding them altogether."

Hummpphh.
