““Books are humanity in print.”” by Julia Dávila
Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are engines of change (as the poet said), windows on the world and lighthouses erected in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind.
Books are humanity in print.
― Barbara W. Tuchman

✿ All that you take from me is coffee and tea and sympathy... and sometimes a little bit of chocolate. Have a happy browsing! ✿
✿ I do not own most of the photos I post. If some of them belong to you or you see a miscredit, please tell me, so I could fix it or remove the photo. :)
✿ All pictures belong to their rightful owners, so please, don't remove the credits I give them.
✿ I own nothing, unless stated. ✿
When I see a beautiful book, when I smell the scent of a freshly printed or a very old book, when I feel the paper between my fingers, when I hear the rustling of the pages turning, I remember why I'll always love the printed world.
