Everything which is good in me should be credited to books.
There's a little book I'm thinking of writing - "Swan Song" is what I shall call it. The song of the dying. And my book will be incense burnt at the deathbed of this society, damned with the damnation of its own impotence.
Even a bad man is better than a good book.
Two forces are succesfully influencing the education of a cultivated man: art and science. Both are united in the book.
Keep reading books, but remember that a book’s only a book, and you should learn to think for yourself.
