Thomas a Kempis

"Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks all things lawful for itself, and all things possible."

"In omnibus requiem quaesivi, et nusquam inveni nisi in angulo cum libro.(Everywhere I have sought peace and not found it, except in a corner with a book.)"

"He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver."

"A book has but one voice, but it does not instruct everyone alike."
