"He loved books; books are cold but..." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“A war between Europeans is a civil war.”

“Earnestness is the salt of eloquence.”

“Phenomena intersect; to see but one is to see nothing.”

“A book is like a child: it is easier to bring it into the world than to control it when it is launched there.”

“Most recently I read Michael Lewis "Boomerang." The other guy I love is Bill Bryson.”

“Ordinary people simply don't know what books mean to us, shut up here. Reading, learning, and the radio are our amusements.”

“As uncommon a thing as true love is, it is yet easier to find than true friendship.”

“The Beatles is over, but John, Paul, George, and Ringo...God knows what relationship they'll have in the future. I don't know. I still love those guys! Because they'll always be those people who were that part of my life.”

“You that would judge me, do not judge alone this book or that, come to this hallowed place where my friends' portraits hang and look thereon; Ireland's history in their lineaments trace; think where man's glory most begins and ends and say my glory was I had such friends.”
