Isaac D'Israeli on Literature
← Back to Isaac D'Israeli Profile
“Literature is an avenue to glory, ever open for those ingenious men who are deprived of honours or of wealth.”
“Time the great destroyer of other men's happiness, only enlarges the patrimony of literature to its possessor.”
“But, indeed, we prefer books to pounds; and we love manuscripts better than florins; and we prefer small pamphlets to war horses.”
