Calling us men doesn't make us men. No creature on earth has a right to think himself a human being if he doesn't know at least one good book. - Christopher Morley

As far as I can see, a man who's fond of books never need starve!

Books are the immortality of the race, the father and mother of most that is worth while cherishing in our hearts. To spread good books about, to sow them on fertile minds, to propagate understanding and a carefulness of life and beauty, isn't that high enough mission for a man?

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, everyday, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.
