instagram: The World’s Most Beautiful Libraries “Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.” -Ray Bradbury For centuries, books have housed the collective knowledge of the world and formed the foundations of educational institutions. Given that these objects that contain such value, it only makes sense that throughout history people have constructed beautiful buildings to house them. We put together a list of some of the most beautiful libraries as captured by Instagrammers around the world.

The World’s Most Beautiful Libraries

“Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.” -Ray Bradbury

For centuries, books have housed the collective knowledge of the world and formed the foundations of educational institutions. Given that these objects that contain such value, it only makes sense that throughout history people have constructed beautiful buildings to house them.

SInce I have so much pent up frustration with real life things, I’m going to, instead, rant about an article I read many years ago saying that Marge Gunderson in FARGO wasn’t a strong female character because she let Norm talk about his stamp contest over her arresting Peter Storemare’s character.

Um, excuse you, person who wrote that. Want to know why that’s bullshit? Here’s why.

Marge arrested a man while he was putting his accomplice in a wood chipper. And I’m sure she found the body of Jean Lundergaard in the cabin shortly thereafter, a woman they had violently kidnapped. I’m sure she ALSO found out that Jean’s husband Jerry had hired the two men to kidnap her, and that Jean and JErry shared a son who now has no parents, one a victim of murder and one the man who inadvertently orchestrated her murder. Not to mention that the kidnappers committed the murders of Jean’s father, a parking attendant, and three innocent people in Marge and Norm’s hometown of Brainerd. 

Maybe she would much prefer to leave the gruesome story at work, and come home to a loving husband who paints ducks for a living, and support what HE does just as he supports what SHE does. And maybe talking about his painting being put on a stamp is much happier bedtime conversation than what SHE had done that day, no matter how important and significant it was. 

ASSHOLE.
