“Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The household is a school of power. There, within the door, learn the tragi-comedy of human life.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
