Only because books are better than people, Father. … Because they are masters who instruct without a rod. If you approach them, they are never asleep; if you are ignorant, they never laugh; if you make mistakes, they never chide. They give to all who ask of them, and never demand payment. … All the glory of the world would be buried in oblivion, if God hadn’t provided us with the remedy of books.
