Books are more precious than jewels. She truly believed this. What did a diamond bring you? A momentary flash of brilliance. A diamond scintillated for second a book could scintillate forever.

About This Quote

The quote "Books are more precious than jewels" is a popular saying that was first published by Dutch author and poet, Johan Huizinga, in his book Homo Ludens , between 1927 and 1935. This quote is all about the quality of life rather than the instant gratification of an object. The book has more lasting impact compared to a diamond as it will be used over and over again. The same can be said for life as well as people who love reading as opposed to those who do not. For those who value books, there is nothing more valuable on planet earth than a good book.
