Beautiful Vintage drawings on old book pages
Classic is a book which people don’t read, Mark Twain said. I just love such kind of drawings – vintage prints on pages of old books, dictionaries and music notes. Also, a collection of quotes about books and reading.
According to Oscar Wilde, “There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written”.
“There is no friend as loyal as a book”. Ernest Hemingway

Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering – because you can’t take it in all at once.
