Books are like imprisoned souls, till someone takes them down from a shelf and frees them.

The oldest books are only just out to those who have not read them.

My main wish is to get my books into other people's rooms and to keep other people's books out of mine.

Money is the last enemy that shall never be subdued. While there is flesh, there is money or the want of money, but money is always on the brain so long as there is a brain in reasonable order.
