Melody's favorite quotes
"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read."

"Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted;
nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.

others to be read, but not curiously, and some few
to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention."
— Francis Bacon (The Essays)
