Buying more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching toward infinity.
— A. Edward Newton

(Alfred Edward Newton (1864–1940) was an American industrialist better known as an author and avid book collector. He is best known for his book “Amenities of Book Collecting” (1918) which sold over 25,000 copies. At the time of his death, it was estimated that he had approximately 10,000 books in his collection.)

Me

Off to do something about my tsundoku issues… *stares at the 32 book boxes still in the garage from the move*
