From the margins

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Richard Steele, The Tatler, 1710
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.
Francis Bacon, Of Studies
Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.
Charles W. Eliot
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; where knowledge is free.
Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali
