TEN GOOD REASONS- WHY GIFT A BOOKSunday, December 25, 2005

i. Books are prize possessions.

ii. Books have hidden treasures of knowledge- thoughts and feelings.

iii.Books are long lasting- Phool to murjha jate hain kitabo.n ko murjhane ka khauf nahin hota.

iv. Books are best friends of all.

v. For books are more than books, they are the life
The very heart and core of ages past,
The reason why men lived and worked and died,
The essence and quintessence of their lives.
- Amy Lowell

vi. Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill.- Barbara Tuchman.

vii. A wonderful thing about a book, in contrast to a computer screen, is that you can take it to bed with you.-Daniel J. Boorstein

viii. The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you the knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.
- Elizabeth Hardwick.

ix. Books satisfy the hunger of mind- We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more we are capable of seeing.- Maria Mitchell.

x. Reading is a habit – a good habit; and habits die hard- They say that out of `habit’ if you cut off `h’, `a bit’ is there, if you cut off `a’ `bit’ remains and if you cut off `b’ still `it’ is there.
