Barbara Tuchman Quotes About Speculation

Quotes about: Speculation

• Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill.

They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print.
