Opinions have vested interests just as men have.

Genius might be described as a supreme capacity for getting its possessors into trouble of all kinds

Let us be grateful to the mirror for revealing to us our appearance only.

Books are like imprisoned souls till someone takes them down from a shelf and frees them.

A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it.

The oldest books are only just out to those who have not read them.

Our minds want clothes as much as our bodies.
