1:I often think . . . that the bookstores that will save civilization are not online, nor on campuses, nor named Borders, Barnes & Noble, Dalton, or Crown. They are the used bookstores, in which, for a couple of hundred dollars, one can still find, with some diligence, the essential books of our culture, from the Bible and Shakespeare to Plato, Augustine, and Pascal. ~ James V. Schall, On the Unseriousness of Human Affairs: Teaching, Writing, Playing, Believing, Lecturing, Philosophizing, Singing, Dancing,

4:EMERSON Ese alto caballero americano Cierra el volumen de Montaigne y sale En busca de otro goce que no vale Menos, la tarde que ya exalta el llano. Hacia el hondo poniente y su declive, Hacia el confn que ese poniente dora, Camina por los campos como ahora Por la memoria de quien esto escribe. Piensa: Le los libros esenciales Y otros compuse que el oscuro olvido No ha de borrar. Un dios me ha concedido Lo que es dado saber a los mortales. Por todo el continente anda mi nombre; No he vivido. Quisiera ser otro hombre. EMERSON Closing the heavy volume of Montaigne, The tall New Englander goes out Into an evening which exalts the fields. It is a pleasure worth no less than reading. He walks toward the final sloping of the sun, Toward the landscapes gilded edge; He moves through darkening fields as he moves now Through the memory of the one who writes this down. He thinks: I have read the essential books And written others which oblivion Will not efface. I have been allowed That which is given mortal man to know. The whole continent knows my name. I have not lived. I want to be someone else. [Mark Strand ~ Jorge Luis Borges, Emerson ,
