Memory, once interrupted, is not to be recalled. But written learning is a fixed luminary, which, after the cloud that had hidden it has passed away, is again bright in its proper station. So books are faithful repositories, which may be awhile neglected or forgotten, but when opened again, will again impart instruction.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/4665/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/4665/ <![CDATA[You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/4671/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/4671/ <![CDATA[Everywhere I have sought rest and not found it, except sitting in a corner by myself with a little book.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/4676/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/4676/ <![CDATA[I love to lose myself in other men's minds.
