Lawrence Clark Powell Quotes

What makes a book great, a so-called classic, it its quality of always being modern, of its author, though he be long dead, continuing to speak to each new generation Picture Quote #1

Unless their use by readers bring them to life, books are indeed dead things Picture Quote #1

Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow Picture Quote #1

To achieve lasting literature, fictional or factual, a writer needs perceptive vision, absorptive capacity, and creative strength Picture Quote #1

We are the children of a technological age. We have found streamlined ways of doing much of our routine work. Printing is no longer the only way of reproducing books. Reading them, however, has not changed Picture Quote #1

Books themselves need no defense. Their spokesmen come and go, their readers live and die, they remain constant Picture Quote #1

No university in the world has ever risen to greatness without a correspondingly great library... When this is no longer true, then will our civilization have come to an end Picture Quote #1

Books, books, books in all their aspects, in form and spirit, their physical selves and what reading releases from their hieroglyphic pages, in their sight and smell, in their touch and feel to the questing hand, and in the intellectual music which they sing to the thoughtful brain and loving heart, books are to me the best of all symbols, the realest of all reality Picture Quote #1

I have always been reconciled to the fact that I was born a bibliomaniac, never have I sought a cure, and my dearest friends have been drawn from those likewise suffering from book madness Picture Quote #1

Books are islands in the ocean of time. They are also oases in the deserts of time Picture Quote #1
