Books are the carriers of civilization. | |
Without books history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. They are the engines of change, windows on the world (as a poet said) lighthouses erected in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print. | |
