Quotes
A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man's life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters. - John W. Timson
I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once. - C.S. Lewis
The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, and all the sweet serenity of books. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
