"Of all the ways of acquiring books, writing them oneself is regarded as the most praiseworthy method. Writers are really people who write books not because they are poor, but because they are dissatisfied with the books which they could buy but do not like."
(Из всех способов обретения книг, писать их самому считается самым похвальным методом. На самом деле писатели пишут не от бедности, а от неудовлетворенности теми книгами, которые можно купить. )
