«In the morning, we carry the world like Atlas; At noon, we stoop and bend beneath it; And at night, it crushes us flat to the ground»
«A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razor strap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.»
