Books never pall on me. They discourse with us, they take counsel with us, and are united to us by a certain living chatty familiarity. And not only does each book inspire the sense that it belongs to its readers, but it also suggests the name of others, and one begets the desire of the other.

Who overrefines his argument brings himself to grief.Francesco Petrarca Petrarch
You keep to your own ways and leave mine to me. Vos vestros servate, meos mihi linquite mores.
Francesco Petrarca Petrarch
Books come at my call and return when I desire them they are never out of humor and they answer all my questions with readiness. Some present in review before me the events of past ages others reveal to me the secrets of Nature. These teach me how to live, and those how to die these dispel my melancholy by their mirth, and amuse me by their sallies of wit. Some there are who prepare my soul to suffer everything, to desire nothing, and to become thoroughly acquainted with itself. In a word, they open the door to all the arts and sciences.
