The Vagabond's Breakfast Quotes

“My attic study is full of books, around a thousand of them, of which I might have read a half, the others lie in wait; some were bought years ago and are destined to remain unread, others were consumed as soon as I brought them home. Some , more ancient acquisitions, glare back at me accusingly, claiming their right to be read, to be given the chance to relieve me of some particularly acute area of ignorance , of which I possess legion, there is never enough time to read all these books , there never will be time enough, there is never enough time in one life to read everything.”
― Richard Gwyn, The Vagabond's Breakfast

“These frailties of chance are unspeakable, they render nothing out of nothing, devastate with their random pickings; who shall gain, who shall lose, it all seems so monstrous.”
― Richard Gwyn, The Vagabond's Breakfast
