Quote of the Day | 0108
A friend of mine, Andy, has devoted his life to literature, his enormous cranium swollen with learning. His shelves always impressed me. Books only made it on to the main section when they had been fully digested, and yet still it was crammed and carefully alphabetised. What an achievement. And yet last Christmas at the Gay Hussar in Soho, he told me he had given away all his books. He had two children. “They need places to play,” he said. “A home should be a home, not a monument to my victories over books.” I was crestfallen.
