    The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any exercise which the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to this object.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
