Famous quotes containing the words intellect and/or books:
“Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!”

“My books and instruments shall be my company,
On them to look and practise by myself.”
