“When I get a little money, I buy books. If any is left, I buy food and clothes.”

~Erasmus

“Who was it who said, ‘I hold the buying of more books than one can peradventure read, as nothing less than the soul’s reaching towards infinity; which is the only thing that raises us above the beasts that perish?’ Whoever it was, I agree with him.”

~A. Edward Newton (re-post)

“Everywhere have I sought rest and found it not, except sitting apart in a nook with a little book.”

~Thomas à Kempis (re-post)

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”

~G. K. Chesterton (re-post)
