“Books are not luxuries. They are the meat and drink for the mind.”
“Action is indeed the sole medium of expression for ethics. (U.S. Social Worker, 1860-1935)”
“The sole/soul purpose of a book is to be read.”
“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.”
