“The labours of men of genius, however erroneously directed, scarcely ever fail in ultimately turning to the solid advantage of mankind.”
― Mary Shelley

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it. Those who do not do it, think of it as a cousin of stamp collecting, a sister of the trophy cabinet, bastard of a sound bank account and a weak mind.”
― Jeanette Winterson

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect).”
― Mark Twain
