Marcus Tullius CiceroA room without books is like a body without a soul.
About This Quote
A room without books is like a body without a soul. I can live a full and exciting life without books, but I won’t have a soul. The true mark of a cultured person is not how well they can play golf or dance, but how well they can read books. If you want to know what to do with your life, then read. I’m not saying that reading is the only thing that will make you cultured; it’s just that if you want to be cultured, you’ll need to read.
