"Humor is the first of the gifts to perish in a foreign tongue."
"Second hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack."

"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well."
"By hook or by crook, I hope that you will possess yourselves of money enough to travel and to idle, to contemplate the future or the past of the world, to dream over books and loiter at street corners and let the line of thought dip deep into the stream"
"You cannot find peace by avoiding life."
