You cannot leave it carelessly, you cannot mark it, you cannot turn down the pages, cannot use it familiarly. <br> But your own books belong to you; you treat them with that affectionate intimacy that annihilates formality. <br> Books are for use not for show. A good reason for marking favourite pages in books is that this practice enables you to remember more easily the significant sayings, to refer to them quickly.
