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

What is a Commonplace Book?
A commonplace book is a personal collection of quotations or passages from any source.
I have collected these thoughts for some time now and decided that a blog is the perfect place to organize them all together.
Some entries may include a commentary.
If this is your first visit here, please visit the sidebar to search quotations by theme or label.
