Do you wish to learn? There are books that can teach you anything, and there is no cheaper form of education, nor one whose effects are more lasting.

Louis L'AmourToday you can buy the Dialogues of Plato for less than you would spend on a fifth of whiskey, or Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire for the price of a cheap shirt. You can buy a fair beginning of an education in any bookstore with a good stock of paperback books for less than you would spend on a week's supply of gasoline.
