Rush into print, and still, midst books galore,
The world grows ever older and more vile.

Additional quotes by Gian Carlo Passeroni

Stampano i dotti e stampan gli ignoranti
Libri diversi; e peggiorando invecchia
Il mondo, in mezzo di tanti libri e tanti.

Translation: Who prints a book, ’tis by the critics deemed,
Should know, as might an angel come from heaven,
All that has e’er been writ, or even dreamed.

Chi stampa un libro, par che sia obbligato
A saper, quasi fosse Angiol celeste,
Quanto è mai stato scritto, oppur sognato.
