Books are not made for furniture, but there is nothing else that so beautifully furnishes a house. ~Henry Ward Beecher

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.  
~Francis Bacon

The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts.
~Oliver Wendell Holmes

Jag tror inte att det finns någonting som är så underbart som att vandra runt planlöst i en stor bokaffär.
