I libri sono l'umanità stampata.
2/8
The reality of a question is inevitably more complicated than we would like to suppose.
3/8
Words are seductive and dangerous material, to be used with caution.
4/8
Non c'è nulla che mi faccia sentir male come la porta chiusa di una biblioteca.
5/8
Books are the carriers of civilization.
6/8
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.
7/8
Government remains the paramount area of folly because it is there that men seek power over others, only to lose it over themselves.
8/8
La realtà di una questione è inevitabilmente più complicata di quanto vorremmo supporre.
