"If your friend wishes to read your 'Plutarch's……" — Mortimer Adler

"If your friend wishes to read your 'Plutarch's Lives,' 'Shakespeare,' or 'The Federalist Papers,' tell him gently but firmly, to buy a copy. You will lend him your car or your coat - but your books are as much a part of you as your head or your heart."

— Mortimer Adler
