“I cannot get enough of books. I may already have more than I need, yet with books, as with other things, success in finding them only whets the desire for more.”

Original: Libris satiari nequeo. Et habeo plures forte quam oportet; sed sicut in ceteris rebus, sic et in libris accidit: querendi successus avaritie calcar est. — A humanist confession of bibliophilia that treats books as living companions rather than ornaments. · Letter to Giovanni Anchiseo, Familiares III, 18 (Latin)
