BOOK THOUGHTS
Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.
Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. --
G. Marx
The test of literature is, I suppose, whether we ourselves live more intensely for the reading of it. -- Elizabeth Drew
There are books so alive that you're always afraid that while you weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book? -- Marina Tsvetaeva
And every little while he buys
More books, and brings them home and tries
To find a place where they will fit,
And has an awful time of it.
Once, when I asked him why he got
So many books, he said, “Why Not?
I’ve puzzled over that a lot. -- Bergrengren
