BARBARA W. TUCHMAN Quotes

"Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are engines of change (as the poet said), windows on the world and lighthouses erected in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print." ~Barbara W. Tuchman 

"Humanity may have common ground, BUT needs and aspirations vary according to circumstances...... They have the same final objective to improve well-being and freedom of individuals, based on the inherent dignity and equality of all people." ~Barbara Tuchman, Historian
