“distringit librorum multitudo (the abundance of books is distraction)”

“As long as we remain vigilant at building our internal abundance—an abundance of integrity, an abundance of forgiveness, an abundance of service, an abundance of love—then external lack is bound to be temporary.”

“They were perfectly suited. They would speak of books the livelong day and night and bore everyone else but themselves to distraction.”

“One of the great diseases of this age is the multitude of books that doth so overcharge the world that it is not able to digest the abundance of idle matter that is every day hatched and brought into the world.”

“If the real world were a book, it would never find a publisher. Overlong, detailed to the point of distraction-and ultimately, without a major resolution.”

“To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever.”
