Literature History Quotations

Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled.

Kim Newman's Anno Dracula is back in print, and we must celebrate. It was the first mash-up of literature, history and vampires, and now, in a world in which vampires are everywhere, it's still the best, and its bite is just as sharp. Compulsory reading, commentary, and mindgame: glorious.

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent.
