Knihy sú najlepšími druhmi človeka, lebo hovoria len vtedy, keď chceme a keď si želáme, tak mlčia. Dávajú všetko a nechcú nič.

Look upon good books; they are true friends, that will neither flatter nor dissemble: be you but true to yourself...and you shall need no other comfort nor counsel.

A blessed companion is a book! A book that, fitly chosen, is a life-long friend.

I had spent the day
friendless, lonely and sad,
a stranger to myself.



After drowning the day
on the sea shore,
I walked back
to my empty house
on the deserted street.



The moment
I opened the door,
the book on my table
flipped its pages
and said:

"Friend,
Where were you
for so long?

A book is a dear friend who has a thousand things to say.

I love walking into a bookstore. It's like all my friends are sitting on shelves, waving their pages at me.
