 Books
are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent,
literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a
standstill.
- Barbara
Tuchman |
To
sit alone in the lamplight with a book spread out before you, and
hold intimate converse with men of unseen generations - such is a
pleasure beyond compare.
- Kenko
Yoshida |
Tell
me what you read and I'll tell you who you are" is true enough,
but I'd know you better if you told me what you reread.
- François
Mauriac |
Some
books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be
chewed on and digested.
- Francis
Bacon |
Books
- the best antidote against the marsh-gas of boredom and vacuity.
- George
Steiner |
The
aim of education is the knowledge not of fact, but of values.
- Dean William
R. Inge |
There
are two motives for reading a book: one, that you enjoy it; the
other, that you can boast about it.
- Bertrand
Russell |
There
is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure
Island . . . and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day
of your life.
- Walt Disney |
If
there's a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written
yet, then you must write it.
- Toni
Morrison |
It
is chiefly through books that we enjoy the intercourse with superior
minds... In the best books, great men talk to us, give us their most
previous thought, and pour their souls into ours. God be thanked for
books
- William
Ellery Channing |
The
books that help you most are those which make you think the most.
The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great
book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep
freighted with truth and beauty
- Theodore
Parker |
