Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty. - Marcus Tullius Cicero

"While there's life, there's hope."

"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."

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

"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."
