Excerpt from The Teaching of English
"We must all receive and learn both from those who were before us and from those who are with us. Even the greatest genius would not go far if he tried to owe everything to his own internal self." - Goethe.
"That learning which thou gettest by thine own observation and experience is far beyond that which thou gettest by precept." - Thomas a Kempis.
"Books we know
Are a substantial world, both pure and good;
Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood,
Our pastime and our happiness will grow." - Wordsworth.
"Books still accomplish miracles; they persuade men." - Thomas Carlyle.
"The genius of philosophy pierces everywhere, and on whatever it rests, like the sun it discovers what lay concealed, or matures what it found imperfect." - Isaac Disraeli.
