Hilde Cox

Hilde Cox was born in Wuerzburg, Germany, where she met her husband Bill who was employed in Wilmington, Delaware.

As their three children were growing up in Delaware, she looked for ways to teach them about their German heritage.

Hilde joined the Saengerbund, Delaware's German Club, where she became an active member. Her interest in researching the history of the club resulted in the publication of The Saengerbund: A 150 Year History of the German Club in Delaware.

Quote of the day

The oldest books are still only just out to those who have not read them.
Samuel Butler

There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.
Joseph Brodsky

There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing poetry.
Emily Dickinson

I know every book of mine by its smell, and I have but to put my nose between the pages to be reminded of all sorts of things.
George Gissing

A book is like a man-clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.
John Steinbeck

All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was.
Ernest Hemingway

Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.
Thomas Jefferson

There are books...which take rank in your life with parents and lovers and passionate experiences, so medicinal, so stringent, so revolutionary, so authoritative.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

For books are more than books, they are the life The very heart and core of ages past, The reason why men lived and worked and died, The essence and quintessence of their lives.
Amy Lowell

O, let my books be then the eloquence and dumb presagers of my speaking breast.
William Shakespeare
