For books are more than books, they are the life, the very heart and core of ages past, the reason why men lived and worked and died, the essence and quintessence of their lives.

In science, read by preference the newest works. In literature, read the oldest. The classics are always modern.

All books are either dreams or swords,You can cut, or you can drug, with words.

There are few things so futile, and few so amusing, As a peaceful and purposeless sort of perusing Of old random jottings set down in a blank book You've unearthed from a drawer as you looked for your bank book

You are ice and fire the touch of you burns my hands like snow.

Sexual love is the most stupendous fact of the universe, and the most magical mystery our poor blind senses know.
