Quotes for: book


The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries.





Philosophy is written in this grand book, which stands continually open before our eyes (I say the Universe), but can not be understood without first learning to comprehend the language and know the characters as it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometric figures, without which it is impossible to humanly understand a word; without these one is wandering in a dark labyrinth.





Few people ask from books what books can give us.





Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all.

Real education consists in drawing the best out of yourself. What better book can there be than the book of humanity?
