"Fame often makes a writer vain, but seldom makes him proud." W.H. Auden

"I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society." Henry David Thoreau, Walden

That's all we need for happiness.

"One does not stop buying books just because there is no more shelf space." N.N.
