Quote for Month of May - "The Magic of the Book"

"Among the many worlds which man did not receive as a gift of nature, but which he created out of his own mind, the world of books is the greatest...Without the word, the writing of books, there is no history, there is no concept of humanity. And if anyone wants to try to enclose in a small space in a single house or single room, the history of the human spirit and to make it his own, he can only do this in the form of a collection of books."

HERMAN HESSE, "The Magic of the Book," My Belief : Essays on Life and Art (1974)
