Additional quotes by Gwendolyn Brooks

Book Power

Books feed and cure and
chortle and collide.

In all this willful world
of thud and thump and thunder
man’s relevance to books
continues to declare.

Books are meat and medicine
and flame and flight and flower,
steel, stitch, and cloud and clout,
and drumbeats in the air.

Books are meat and medicine
and flame and flight and flower
steel, stitch, cloud and clout,
and drumbeats on the air.

Exhaust the little moment. Soon it dies.
And be it gash or gold it will not come
Again in this identical disguise.

Everybody here is infirm. Everybody here is infirm. - Gwendolyn Brooks
