The world is very lovely, and it's very horrible--and it doesn't care about your life or mine or anything else.
Rudyard KiplingAll we have of freedom All we use or know This our fathers bought for us Long and long ago
Rudyard KiplingOne can't prescribe books, even the best books, to people unless one knows a good deal about each individual person. If a man is keen on reading, I think he ought to open his mind to some older man who knows him and his life, and to take his advice in the matter, and above all, to discuss with him the first books that interest him.
