"What's the point of having countless books and libraries, whose titles could hardly be read through in a lifetime. The learner is not taught, but burdened by the sheer volume, and it's better to plant the seeds of a few authors than to be scattered about by the many."
~ Seneca, On Tranquility of Mind, 9.4
Gotta disagree with Seneca on this one. I always need more books!
