Great books conserve time.
The possession of a great many things, even the best of things, tends to blind one to the real value of anything.
Love is the most subtle form of self-interest.
Suffer fools gladly; they may be right.
Book-love, I say again, lasts throughout life, it never flags or fails, but, like Beauty itself, is a joy forever.
No man is ever old enough to know better.
