Never Put Off Till Tomorrow The Book

The Time To Read Is Any Time: No Apparatus, No Appointment Of Time And Place, Is Necessary. It Is The Only Art Which Can Be Practiced At Any Hour Of The Day Or Night, Whenever The Time And Inclination Comes, That Is Your Time For Reading; In Joy Or Sorrow, Health Or Illness.

Books Are Never Out Of Humour; Never Envious Or Jealous, They Answer All Questions With Readiness; ... They Teach Us How To Live And How To Die; They Dispel Melancholy By Their Mirth, And Amuse By Their Wit; They Prepare The Soul To Suffer Everything And Desire Nothing; They Introduce Us To Ourselves.

Your Readiest Desire Is Your Path To Joy... Even If It Destroys You.
