If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.

To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?

Books are more than books. They are the life, the very heart and core of ages past, the reason why men worked and died, the essence and quintessence of their lives.

To make a mistake is only human; to persist in a mistake is idiotic.

This isn't a selling point..

There is no issue we could not endure and overcome, be it economic, medical or otherwise, that we couldn't happily and easily solve if we were only allowed to collectivise.
