Richard de Bury

“Books are masters who instruct us without rods or ferules, without words or anger, without bread or money.
If you approach them, they are not asleep; If you seek them, they do not hide;
If you blunder, they do not scold; if you are ignorant, they do not laugh at you.”

Richard de Bury, The Love of Books: The Philobiblon of Richard de Bury
