"Surprising what two months of study can do! I’m about halfway through this one. The lack of kanji makes some of the meanings harder to recognize, though the hiragana makes it generally easier to read. A lot of words and structure repeat, so a great beginner book." Feb 01, 2024 04:40PM

Thomas Aquinas
“It is necessary for the perfection of human society that there should be men who devote their lives to contemplation.”
Thomas Aquinas

Victor Hugo
“He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Groucho Marx
“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”
Groucho Marx

Ray Bradbury
“The books are to remind us what asses and fool we are. They're Caeser's praetorian guard, whispering as the parade roars down the avenue, "Remember, Caeser, thou art mortal." Most of us can't rush around, talking to everyone, know all the cities of the world, we haven't time, money or that many friends. The things you're looking for, Montag, are in the world, but the only way the average chap will ever see ninety-nine per cent of them is in a book. Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Stanisław Lem
“I never read to kill time. Killing time is like killing someone's wife or a child. There is nothing more precious for me than time.”
Stanisław Lem
