“With respect to duels, indeed, I have my own ideas. Few things in this so surprising world strike me with more surprise.

I knew nothing of books when I came forth from the womb of my mother, and I shall die without books, with another human hand in my own. I do, indeed, close my door at times and surrender myself to a book, but only because I can open the door again and see a human being looking at me.”
