“If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.”
—Oscar Wilde (via lifeofliterature)
“My friend is not allowed to go out today. I sit by his side and read him passages from his own life. They fill him with surprise. Everyone should keep someone else’s diary; I sometimes suspect you of keeping mine.”
