Alberto Manguel Quotes

Ancient Egypt 1300BC
Be A Scribe! Engrave This In Your Heart
So That Your Name Might Live On Like Theirs!
The Scroll Is Better Than The Carved Stone.
A Man Has Died: His Corpse Is Dust,
And His People Have Passed From The Land.
It Is A Book That Makes Him Be Remembered
In The Mouth Of The Speaker Who Reads Him.
