“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”
― Jorge Luis Borges

“The only artists I have ever known who are personally delightful are bad artists. Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are. A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating. The worse their rhymes are, the more picturesque they look. The mere fact of having published a book of second-rate sonnets makes a man quite irresistible. He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
― C.S. Lewis

“Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?”
― Henry Ward Beecherr
