"What a vast fertility of pleasure books hold for me! I went in and found the table laden with books. I looked in and sniffed them all. I could not resist carrying this one off and broaching it. I think I could happily live here and read forever."

Arthur Schopenhauer, German Philosopher

Reading, Books, Time, Knowledge

"A learned man is a sedentary, concentrated solitary enthusiast, who searches through books to discover some particular grain of truth upon which he has set his heart. If the passion for reading conquers him, his gains dwindle and vanish between his fingers.

Virginia Woolf, British Author

"If time is precious, no book that will not improve by repeated readings deserves to be read at all."
