"Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new after all."

" 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 such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. "

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them."
