“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“...in a brutal country like ours where human life is cheap, it's stupid to destroy yourself for the sake of your beliefs. Beliefs, high ideals--only people living in rich countries can enjoy such luxuries.'

'Actually, it's the other way round. In a poor country the only consolation people can have is the one that comes from their beliefs.”
― Orhan Pamuk, Snow
