Research and Bibliographic Methods, Lesson #1
"What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books."
--Thomas Carlyle
"I think it is good that books still exist, but they do make me sleepy."
--Frank Zappa
"Of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh."
--Ecclesiastes Chapter 12, verse 12
"The multitude of books is making us ignorant."
--Voltaire
"The number of books will grow continually, and one can predict that a time will come when it will be almost as difficult to learn anything from books as from the direct study of the whole universe. It will be almost as convenient to search for some bit of truth concealed in nature as it will be to find it hidden away in an immense multitude of bound volumes."
--Denis Diderot
I've never heard of Denis Diderot, but he was a prophet. You have no idea. Seriously, you don't.
