"For 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."
"While there's life, there's hope."
"Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty."
"The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living."
"The life given us, by nature is short; but the memory of a well-spent life is eternal."
"What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk."
