[Quote No.13824] Need Area: Fun > Books
"In reading authors, when you find,
Bright passages, that strike your mind,
And which, perhaps, you may have reason,
To think on, at another season,
Be not contented with the sight,
But take them down in black and white;
Such a respect is wisely shown,
As makes another's sense one's own." - Lord Byron
