“I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same mind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.”
― George Eliot

“I must have a prodigious amount of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it up!”
― Mark Twain

“Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself.”
― George Bernard Shaw

“Books - the best antidote against the marsh-gas of boredom and vacuity.”
― George Steiner
