A tribute to Books
"The book has been man's greatest triumph. Seated in
my library, I live in a time machine. In an instant I
can be transmitted to any era, any part of the world,
even to outer space.
I have lived in every period of history. I have
listened to Buddah speak, marched with Alexander,
sailed with the Vikings, ridden in canoes with the
Polynesians. I have been at the courts of Queen
Elizabeth and Louis XIV; I have been a friend to
Captain Nemo and have sailed with Captain Bligh on
the Bounty. I have walked in the agora with Socrates
and Plato, and listened to Jesus deliver the Sermon on
the Mount.
Best of all, I can do it all again, at any
moment. The books are there. I have only to reach
up to the shelves and take them down to relive the
moments I have loved". ~Louis L'amour
