The Russian colossus exercised a spell upon Europe. On the chessboard of military planning, Russia's size and weight of numbers represented the largest piece.

Barbara W. Tuchman, The Guns of August
Books are the carriers of civilisation. 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.
- Barbara Tuchman, (Bulletin of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Nov. 1980)
