Walking through the heart of Manhattan, you may stumble upon a stunning architectural masterpiece guarded by two marble lions: the New York Public Library. Established in 1895, the NY Public Library is a true gem of the city, containing over 53 million items, including books, manuscripts, maps, and photographs.
My heart is warmed :) The NYPL is one of my favorite places in the city, and I was just there with friends a few weeks ago. Thank you for spotlighting this special place.
The library is exquisite and the plaques so very innovative! Where else could one find such eloquence right at their feet? Thank you for bringing these treasures into my world! 😊🕯️
Thanks for sharing this. Was in the New York Public Library on December 12 last year. We went in there to look at the orginal Winnie the Pooh and I'm sure we headed East on 41st after. Didn't pay attention to the plaques though. Must make sure I have a proper look next time. I guess we were busy chatting.
Love the quotes, but I agree with Lizzie on the Picasso one. Might be true for his art - I don't agree with it in general. The Francis Bacon one makes me hungry for books. Thank you for sharing this. Will put the Library Way on my must dos for the next time I'm in New York.
The Library Way is fascinating discovery so thank you. The selection of quotes must have been an extraordinary adventure thru the lives of each writer. The Hemingway quote is wonderful but it’s the Picasso quote I love as it captured a conversational glimpse of his friendship with Federico Garcia Lorca and the rare fleeting essence of duende.
What a treat and treasure!
Thank you for sharing this gem.
I firmly agree with Hemingway and Thomas but cannot agree with Picasso.
I think many artists have proven him wrong, you among them.
Libraries are golden!
Cannot agree with Picasso either!

Perfect stumble. Jealous, I stay aligned on a shelf of days gone by. Apple…on the desk.
