The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the old ones.

لا أحب الكتب الجديدة .. أنها تمنعني من قراءة الكتب القديمة

The paper is patient, but the reader is not.

There was a time when the world acted on books; now books act on the world.

We find little in a book but what we put there. But in great books, the mind finds room to put many things.
