Joss's ears perked up. He loved libraries. Nowhere else in the world felt so safe and homey. Nowhere else smelled like books and dust and happy solitude quite like a library did.

Heather Brewer

Libraries are the ultimate restaurants for brain food. I sleep better knowing there are libraries. I would take a bullet for a librarian.

Simon Van Booy

Thirty resolute men in your House of Commons could save the world.

Felix Frankfurter

Why consider debates in the English House of Commons in 1628 along with documents on American developments in the late eighteenth century?

Edmund Morgan

Elections exist for the sake of the House of Commons and not the House of Commons for the sake of elections.

Winston Churchill

I am a child of the House of Commons. I was brought up in my fathers house to believe in democracy. Trust the peoplethat was his message.

Winston Churchill

Chrystia Freeland

Libraries are at a cultural crossroads. Some proffer that libraries as we know them may go away altogether, ironic victims of the information age where Google has subverted Dewey decimal and researchers can access anything on a handheld device. Who needs to venture deep into the stacks when answers are but a click away?

Sam Weller

I have always been a House of Commons man.

John Diefenbaker

So you have Sleep Stage One, Two, and then Three/Four. One is a little bit lighter stage of the quiet, non-REM sleep and then Three/Four is really deep, deep sleep. And what you want is, you actually want a number of - you want to go through all of these stages throughout the night.

Shelby Harris

A man may speak very well in the House of Commons, and fail very completely in the House of Lords. There are two distinct styles requisite: I intend, in the course of my career, if I have time, to give a specimen of both.

Benjamin Disraeli

I'm not going to play politics on the floor of the House of Commons.

John Turner
