Quote for Monday, May 28, 2007


Books are the carriers of civilization.
Without books, history is silent,
literature dumb,
science crippled,
thought and speculation at a standstill.
They are engines of change,
windows on the world,
lighthouses erected in the sea of time.
~ Barbara W. Tuchman
("The Book", lecture at the Library of Congress
10/17/1979)
