Marcus Tullius Cicero (apparently a person worth quoting) is said to have said “A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
At first glance, I thought this was a pretty cool quote. After all, I like a lot of other book quotes. “If you go home with someone and they don’t have any books, don’t fuck ’em.” -John Waters
“There is no friend as loyal as a book.” -Ernest Hemingway
