“Books are not luxuries. They are the meat and drink for the mind.”
“This luxury of mind began with a RECORD.”
“Books, indeed, were his sole luxuries”
“Books are both our luxuries and our daily bread.”
“[T]he only luxury he allows himself is buying books, paperback books, mostly novels, American novels, British novels, foreign novels in translation, but in the end books are not luxuries so much as necessities, and reading is an addiction he has no wish to be cured of.”
“This world's no blot for us,Nor blank; it means intensely, and means good:To find its meaning is my meat and drink.”
