Knowledge is awareness, and to it there are many paths, not all of them paved with logic.
Louis L'AmourWhen I die, remember that what you knew of me is with you always. What is buried is only the shell of what was. Do not regret the shell, but remember the man. Remember the father.
Louis L'AmourBooks are the building blocks of civilization and a people without books are a people without history, a people with no story older than the tales of the oldest man or woman.

A parent or a teacher has only his lifetime; a good book can teach forever.Without books we should very likely be a still-primitive people living in the shadow of traditions that faded with years until only a blur remained, and different memories would remember the past in different ways.
