"it's almost impossible to read a fine thing without wanting to do a fine thing."
-John Steinbeck, The Pastures of Heaven
"There is no other occupation upon earth that is so appropriate to every time and every age and every place. Reading stimulates the young and diverts the old, increases one's satisfaction when things are going well, and when they are going badly provides refuge and solace. It is a delight in the home; it can be fitted in with public life; throughout the night, on journeys, in the country, it is the companion that never lets me down."
-Cicero
