"The thought of these vast stacks of books……" — Thomas Wolfe

"The thought of these vast stacks of books would drive him mad: the more he read, the less he seemed to know — the greater the number of the books he read, the greater the immense uncountable number of those which he could never read would seem to be…. The thought that other books were waiting for him tore at his heart forever."

— Thomas Wolfe
