“Marriage made people old and familiar, while still young.”

“Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.”

“I have fun with ideas; I play with them.”

“I do not hesitate to read. all good books in translations. What is really best in any book is translatable-any real insight or broad human sentiment.”

“I am too fond of reading books to care to write them.”

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”

“We expect a great man to be a good reader.”

“When I didn't have friends, I had books.”

“Reading is merely a surrogate for thinking for yourself; it means letting someone else direct your thoughts.”
