“Long ago I fell back on books as the only permanent consolers. They are the one stainless and unimpeachable achievement of the human race. It saddens me to think that I shall have to die with thousands of books unread that would have given me noble and unblemished happiness.”

“There is indeed a heaven on this earth, a heaven which we inhabit when we read a good book.”
