Alberto Manguel Quotes

The Existence Of Any Library, Even Mine, Allows Readers A Sense Of What Their Craft Is Truly About, A Craft That Struggles Against The Stringencies Of Time By Bringing Fragments Of The Past Into Their Present. It Grants Them A Glimpse, However Secret Or Distant, Into The Minds Of Other Human Beings, And Allows Them A Certain Knowledge Of Their Own Condition Through The Stories Stored Here For Their Perusal. Above All, It Tells Readers That Their Craft Consist Of The Power To Remember, Actively, Through The Prompt Of The Page, Selected Moments Of The Human Experience. This Was The Great Practice Established By The Library Of Alexandria.
