Fyodor Dostoevsky
“We're always thinking of eternity as an idea that cannot be understood, something immense. But why must it be? What if, instead of all this, you suddenly find just a little room there, something like a village bath-house, grimy, and spiders in every corner, and that's all eternity is. Sometimes, you know, I can't help feeling that that's what it is.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

Thomas Carlyle
“What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.”
