Great books

noviembre 30, 2011 in Uncategorized

“But when great books of the world were new to me, when I first learnt what had been thought and felt and said by men who had thought and felt profoundly, there was a great liberation in the discovery that hopes and dreams and systems of thought which had remained vague and unexpressed for lack of sympathy in my environment had been set forth in clear and shining words by men wom the world acknowledged to be great. From books I derived courage and hope and freedom in arduous endeavours.”

Bertrand Russel
