" Books are delightful society. If you go into a room and find it full of books without taking them from shelves they seem to speak to you, to bid you welcome. They seem to tell you that they have got something inside their covers that will be good for you, and that they are willing and desirous to impart to you. Value them much."
William Ewart Gladstone (1809 - 1898)
"A well-composed book is a magic carpet on which we are wafted to a world that we cannot enter in any other way."
Caroline Gordon (1895 - 1981)
