The greatest library of ancient culture built in Alexandria, Egypt some time around 145 B.C. It was burned down when the city was sieged and it is believed to have held near endless ancient knowledge. It has a sort of memetic reputation as many believe the "Burning of the Great Library of Alexandria" Set humanities technology and knowledge back several thousand years.
"Stupid people like you wouldn't exist if the library of Alexandria never burned down." -As an insult to intelligence
"You're the kind of person that would burn down the Great Library of Alexandria aren't you?"-As an insult to say someone is mean/selfish

An awesome place that is underrated in today's society.
Think about it - where else can you chill in an air-conditioned place, that's quiet, where you can read a cool mag or surf the net, where you can take a nap, check out movies, meet some friends for a game of chess or cards, read about whatever you like, get free bookmarks, talk to some fine librarians, walk around aimlessly, find out how glow-in-the-dark works..... and all for free!

Get the library mug.A powerful phrase from then-French President Charles de Gaulle to the people of Quebec, Canada from the balcony of the Montreal Town Hall in 1967.
Translating to "Long Live Free Quebec", it is considered by many to be Charles de Gaulle's semi-formal endorsement of the concept of Quebec sovereignty.
In the aftermath, Charles de Gaulle was forced to cut his visit short partially due to the outrage of the Canadian government at this statement. Since then, it has been a rallying call for supporters of Quebec sovereignty, as well as the Parti Quebecois, a pro-sovereignty political party based in Quebec.
It is widely believed that because of animosity stemming from this incident, then-Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau refused to attend a memorial service to Charles de Gaulle following his death some years later.
