'Tis the good reader that makes the good book a good head cannot read amiss in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakeably meant for his ear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The habit of breaking up one's colour to make it brilliant dates from further back than Impressionism-Couture advocates it in a little book called 'Causeries d'Atelier' written about 1860-it is part of the technique of Impressionism but used for quite a different reason.
John Singer Sargent
Lord when you sell a man a book you don't sell just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life. Love and friendship and humour and ships at sea by night - there's all heaven and earth in a book, a real book.
Christopher Morley

André Gide
