“A house without books must be sad. Even sadder a house of books without people.”
“A house without books is like a room without windows.”
“What kind of life can you have in a house without books?”
“Life is sad enough without people writing sad books.”
“A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them. It is a wrong to his family. He cheats them! Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it.”
“To all my librarian friends, champions of books, true magicians in the House of Life. Without you, this writer would be lost in the Dust.”
