" It is a man's duty to have books. A library is not a luxury, but one of the necessaries of life. "

"There is no friend as loyal as a book."

"If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all. "

"You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me."
