    A book is quite a beautiful thing, even more so learning. Together, however, all they amount to is called book-learning.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    I think that I love society as much as most, and am ready enough to fasten myself like a bloodsucker for the time to any full-blooded man that comes in my way. I am naturally no hermit, but might possibly sit out the sturdiest frequenter of the bar-room, if my business called me thither.
