You cannot fully read a book without being alone. But through this very solitude you may become intimately involved with people whom you might never had met otherwise, either because they were dead for centuries or because they spoke languages you cannot understand. And nonetheless, they have become your closest friends, your wisest advisors, the wizards that hypnotize you, the lovers you always dreamed of. Antonio Munoz Molinas, "The Power of the Pen"
"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."
