BOOKS

Dreams, books, each are a world; and books, we know,

Are a substantial world, both pure and good.

Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood,

Our pastimes and our happiness will grow.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850) from Personal Talk.

Books are the carriers of civilization.  Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill.  Books are humanity in print.

Barbara Tuchman, Author's League Bulletin, November 1979.

The biggest seller is cookbooks and the second is diet books -- how not to eat what you've just learned how to cook.

Andy Rooney

It seems odd that certain who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others. 

C.H. Spurgeon.
