.. . . if those only wrote, who were
sure of being read, we should have
fewer authors;
and the shelves of libraries

of dusty tomes more voluminous
than luminous.

be librarians.

to use a library, to memorize quickly

What I could not learn
was to think
creatively on schedule.
Agnes George DeMille (1905-____)

unorgastic, reliable,
deep and long-lasting.

it is as if a library has burned
to the ground.

wherewith to swell their own
scanty rills of thought.

U.S. short-story writer, essayist

room and a library.
After that, if I still had more money that I
couldn't use, I would hire a professor
and get some text books.

in the morning.

is in disorder is not as useful
as a small but well-arranged one,
so you may accumulate a
vast amount of knowledge
but it will be of far less value
than a much smaller amount
if you have not thought it
over for yourself.
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
German philosopher
