    Richard de Bury
    “Books are masters who instruct us without rods or ferules, without words or anger, without bread or money.
    If you approach them, they are not asleep; If you seek them, they do not hide;
    If you blunder, they do not scold; if you are ignorant, they do not laugh at you.”
    ― Richard de Bury, The Love of Books: The Philobiblon of Richard de Bury

    Douglas Adams
    “After a fairly shaky start to the day, Arthur's mind was beginning to reassemble itself from the shell-shocked fragments the previous day had left him with.
    He had found a Nutri-Matic machine which had provided him with a plastic cup filled with a liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
    The way it functioned was very interesting. When the Drink button was pressed it made an instant but highly detailed examination of the subject's taste buds, a spectroscopic analysis of the subject's metabolism and then sent tiny experimental signals down the neural pathways to the taste centers of the subject's brain to see what was likely to go down well. However, no one knew quite why it did this because it invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.”
    ― Douglas Adams
