The Endless Passion for Books

‘I am haunted by an inexhaustible passion that up to now I have not managed or wanted to quench. I feel that I have never enough books. Books delight one in depth, run through our veins, advise us and bind us in a kind of active and keen familiarity; and an individual book does not insinuate itself alone into our spirit, but leads the way for many more, and thus provokes in us a longing for others. ‘
― Petrarchus
