What I dream of is an art of balance.
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.
Reading well is one of the great pleasures that solitude can afford you.
Read not to contradict and confute?nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider.
If we take care of the moments, the years will take care of themselves.
The whole life of man is but a point of time; let us enjoy it.
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
A single day is enough to make us a little larger.
