“Emerson tried to teach us that there can be infinite beauties in a little space—untold joys within a day—and he asks us to take short outlooks.”
Maurice Francis Egan, Confessions of a Book-Lover

“The art of injudicious reading, the art of miscellaneous reading which every normal man ought to cultivate, is a very fine and satisfactory art; for the best guide to books is a book itself. It clasps hands with a thousand other books.”
Maurice Francis Egan, Confessions of a Book-Lover

“Each of us will make his own shelf of books. The book for me is the book that delights, attracts, soothes, or uplifts me.”
Maurice Francis Egan, Confessions of a Book-Lover
