It is, however, not to the museum, or the lecture-room, or the drawing- school, but to the library, that we must go for the completion of our humanity. It is books that bear from age to age the intellectual wealth of the world.
Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of LyttonThose true eyes, Too pure and too honest in aught to disguise, The sweet soul shining through them.
Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of LyttonThe man who seeks one thing in life and but one, May hope to achieve it before life is done; But he who seeks all things, wherever he goes, Only reaps from the hopes which around him he sows, A harvest of barren regrets.
Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton
