Books are pleasant, but . . .
Michel de Montaigne Books are pleasant, but if by being over-studious we impair our health and spoil our good humor, two of the best things we have, let us give it over. I, for my part, am one of those who think no fruit derived from them can recompense so great a loss.

 - Michel de Montaigne
