Necessities

"A room without books is like a body without soul."

- Cicero

"When I get a little money, I buy books; and if any is left, I buy food and clothes."

- Desiderius Erasmus

"If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle, or as it were, fondle them- peer into them, let them fall open where they will, read from the first sentence that arrests the eye, set them back on the shelves with your own hands, arrange them on your own plan so that you at least know where they are. Let them be your friends; let them at any rate be your acquaintances."

- Winston Churchill
