Additional quotes by Edward Bulwer-Lytton

The most useless creature that ever yawned at a club, or counted the vermin on his rags under the suns of Calabria, has no excuse for want of intellect. What men want is not talent, it is purpose,—in other words, not the power to achieve, but the will to labour.

Master books, but do not let them master you. Read to live, not live to read.

In science, read, by preference, the newest works; in literature, the oldest. The classic literature is always modern.
