Matching Quote
"So it is with books, for the most part: they work no redemption on us. The
bookseller
might certainly know that his customers are in no respect better for the purchase and consumption of his wares. The volume is dear at a dollar, and after to reading to weariness the lettered backs, we leave the shop with a sigh, and learn, as I did without surprise of a surly bank director, that in bank parlors they estimate all stocks of this kind as rubbish."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
