QUOTE: From Anatole Broyard

"Summer vacation is a time for reading, and my friends come to me to borrow books because I have so many more than most people. In their innocence, they have no idea what I go through in lending a book. They don't understand that I think of myself as offering love, truth, beauty, wisdom, and consolation against death. Nor do they suspect that I feel about lending a book the way most men feel about their daughters living with a man out of wedlock."
