I won't be sad too often, If they bury me in the library With bookworms in my coffin.

J. Patrick Lewis
I won't be sad too often, If they bury me...
I won't be sad too often, If they bury me...
I won't be sad too often, If they bury me...
I won't be sad too often, If they bury me...
About This Quote

To have a library is to have a treasure. To have a treasure means that something is of great value, that it is very important. You can’t put a price on such a thing as the value of knowledge. And the value of knowledge will never fade no matter what you do with it. I would like to be buried with books and read by those who know me before I am gone, will they honor me with books and books that will keep me alive forever and not just in memory.
