All Ages

I like to read the carved-in-stone inscriptions found at many historic libraries. I did this quick sketch at the Los Angeles Central Library. The library was badly burned some years ago and was closed for repairs. Inside, you can take an escalator up about three or four stories. The view at the top overlooks a cavernous foyer below with gigantic modern architecture suspended over it.

The inscription reads: In the world of affairs we live in our own age. In books, we live in all ages.

Have you read any wise sayings recently?
