There is a single light of science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere
Isaac Asimov
Nice quote, isn't it? Asimov has grown to be one of our most appreciated and loved writers because of tiny jewels like this previous one. Sure thing you are now thinking about your favourite book and quote... And how about you bring it here on Wednesday April 23rd (World Book Day) and visit the Museum for free? Sounds like a deal...
The connection between 23 April and books was first made in 1923 by booksellers in Spain as a way to honour the Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes who died on that day.
In 1995, UNESCO decided that the World Book and Copyright Day would be celebrated on this date , for it is the anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, Cervantes and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega (a Spanish-Peruvian chronicler and writer who lived in the 16th century).
Now that you know why we celebrate World Book Day, jot down the time frame in which you should bring #YourFavouriteQuote on Wednesday: from 4 to 9 pm. By the way, the quote we will like best will get a prize: two tickets to "Asesinato en la Casa de la Ciencia" ("There's been a murder in Casa de la Ciencia") activity.
Don't miss!
