Love Of Books

“

As good almost kill a man as kill a good book: who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God’s image; but he who destroys a good book kills reason itself.

John Milton

“

Knowing I lov’d my books, he furnish’d me,
From mine own library with volumes that
I prize above my dukedom.

William Shakespeare

“

I love to lose myself in other men’s minds.

Charles Lamb

“

For I bless God in the libraries of the learned and for all the booksellers in the world.

Christopher Smart

“

Child! do not throw this book about;
Refrain from the unholy pleasure
Of cutting all the pictures out!
Preserve it as your chiefest treasure.

Hilaire Belloc

“

My book and heart
Must never part.
