Charles Lamb quote: "I love to lose myself in other men's minds.... Books think for..."
I love to lose myself in other men's minds.... Books think for me. Charles Lamb
Shakespeare is one of the last books one should like to give up, perhaps the one just before the Dying Service in a large Prayer book. Charles Lamb
There is absolutely no such thing as reading but by a candle. We have tried the affectation of a book at noon-day in gardens, and in sultry arbours, but it was labor thrown away. Those gay motes in the beam come about you, hovering and teasing, like so many coquets, that will have you all to their self, and are jealous of your abstractions.

A book reads the better which is our own, and has been so long known to us, that we know the topography of its blots, and dog's ears, and can trace the dirt in it to having read it at tea with buttered muffins. Charles Lamb

Charles Lamb quote: "She unbent her mind afterwards - over a book."
She unbent her mind afterwards - over a book. Charles Lamb
