Schott's original miscellany

by Ben Schott

" C'est une bien triste chose que de nos jours, il y ait si peu d'informations inutiles. " Oscar Wilde. " Un couteau suisse en forme de livre. " Elmar Krekeler, Die Welt. " .. vous, Monsieur, vous lisez les livres d'un bout a l'autre ? " Samuel Johnson. " Il n'a appris a lire qu'a moitie, celui qui n'a pas aussi appris l'art encore plus subtil de feuilleter & de sauter des pages. " Arthur Balfour. " Prenez garde a l'homme d'un seul livre. " Saint Thomas d'Aquin. " Si un livre vaut la peine d'etre lu, il vaut la peine d'etre achete. " John Ruskin.
