“Young men, especially in America, write to me and ask me to recommend “a course of reading.” Distrust a course of reading! People who really care for books read all of them. There is no other course.”Andrew Lang Source: Adventures Among Books
“O grant me a house by the beach of a bay,Where the waves can be surly in winter, and playWith the sea-weed in summer, ye bountiful powers!And I'd leave all the hurry, the noise, and the fray,For a house full of books, and a garden of flowers.”Andrew Lang
