There are only two classes in society: those who get more than they earn, and those who earn more than they get.

Genius is initiative on fire.

A good book is always on tap; it may be decanted and drunk a hundred times, and it is still there for further imbibement.

Suffer fools gladly; they may be right.

A large, still book is a piece of quietness, succulent and nourishing in a noisy world, which I approach and imbibe with "a sort of greedy enjoyment," as Marcel Proust said of those rooms of his old home whose air was "saturated with the bouquet of silence."

As soon as an idea is accepted it is time to reject it.
