"Eating and reading are two pleasures that combine admirably."

"I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once."

"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."

"I was with book, as a woman is with child"

"You can make anything by writing."

"I have learned now that while those who speak about one's miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more."
