La mia biblioteca

“Somewhere in Martha’s life it had been instilled into her, or she knew by instinct, that one should never read anything until one wanted to, learn anything until one needed it." -- Doris Lessing | "So that's what books really are. They're agents of change. Their tactile, corporeal presence lays its hold on us. They let be us children again—beings of infinite potential once more." -- John Lienhard | “What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books." — Thomas Carlyle | “I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library." -- Jorge Luis Borge |

Informazione su di me

“When a thing has been said and said well, have no scruples. Take it and copy it." -- Mark Twain | “See, I think we have to ask ourselves - and this is corny in a way - what are we doing here. And I've become convinced, after a lifetime of asking that question, that we are here to enlarge our souls, light up our brains, and liberate our spirits." -- Tom Robbins | "To help, to continually help and share, that is the sum of all knowledge; that is the meaning of art." -- Eleonora Duse | "There is only one way to read, which is to browse in libraries and bookshops, picking up books that attract you, reading only those, dropping them when they bore you, skipping the parts that drag - and never, never reading anything because you feel you ought, or because it is part of a trend or a movement. Remember that the book which bores you when you are twenty or thirty will open doors for you when you are forty or fifty - and vice versa. Don't read a book out of its right time for you." -- Doris Lessing | “He had allowed his daughters to use his library without restraint, and nothing is more fatal to maidenly delicacy of speech than the run of a good library." -- Robertson Davies
