The universe is made of stories, not atoms.
Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980), “The Speed of Darkness”
The Library Walk, is a venture launched in 1996 by the New York Public Library, Grand Central Partnership and New Yorker Magazine, in which are embedded in bronze plaques quotes from well-known books, or those dealing with books and literature. The panels designed by artist Gregg LeFevre were laid in 1998 from the New York Public Library building along 41st Street.
The plaque features a well-known line from the poetry of the poet, feminist and political activist Muriel Rukeyser.
In the background of the plaque appears a molecule consisting of numbers instead of atoms, according to the spirit of the quote.
