Remains Quotes

“One cannot celebrate books sufficiently. After saying his best, still something better remains to be spoken in their praise.

“It has always been my experience that, whatever groupings I choose for my books, the space in which I plan to lodge them necessarily reshapes my choice and, more important, in no time proves too small for them and forces me to change my arrangement.
