After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.
Thus I progressed on the surface of life, in the realm of words as it were, never in reality. All those books barely read, those friends barely loved, those cities barely visited, those women barely possessed! I went through the gestures out of boredom or absent-mindedness.

History has shown that the less people read, the more books they buy.
