“No tea cup is big enough nor book long enough for me to be satisfied.”
“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
“I settled opposite him in my favorite chair, low enough that my feet can touch the floor, wide enough to curl up inside, with a little table beside it just big enough to hold a book and a coffee cup.”
“Nor would I willingly miss the early darkness and the pleasant firelight tea and the long evenings among my books.”
“My books are likely to contain food stains and rings from my tea cups. A book is to be lived with and used.”
“forever can never be long enough for me to feel that i've had long enough with you”
