Our children are watching us all the time. They learn much more by what they see than what they hear. Moral science is never learnt from books, but from watching those who live around us. The world will follow your example and not your advice. — Mahatria Ra

In nature's infinite book of secrecy
A little I can read. — William Shakespeare
I've always been fascinated, obsessed even, with books and TV shows about unsolved murders, cold cases, forensic science, mysteries, and so on.

In part I'm just mystified. Here's a woman, Hillary [Clinton], who wrote a book about it takes a "village" to raise children. It wasn't about a book about "it takes a pill." There's a "double think" that the modern person often has. Anything that's called "science" is accepted as an absolute and sweeps reason away. — Peter Breggin
Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled. — Barbara Tuchman
In the world of letters, learning and knowledge are one, and books are the source of both; whereas in science, as in life, learning and knowledge are distinct, and the study of things, and not of books, is the source of the latter. — Thomas Huxley
