Somehow, he is correct, of course, though it is a first reading for me.
"Of all the worlds created by man, the world of books is the most powerful." Heinrich Heine
I could not agree more.
"The library in summer is the most wonderful thing because there you get books on any subject and read them each for only as long as they hold your interest, abandoning any that don’t, halfway or a quarter of the way through if you like, and store up all that knowledge in the happy corners of your mind for your own self and not to show off how much you know or spit it back at your teacher on a test paper." Polly Horvath
I thought these were the words of a student or school child, for after that the library is always the most wonderful thing. But it looks like this is a children's author.
