Given Pounds and five years, and an ordinary man can in the ordinary course, without any undue haste or putting any pressure upon his taste, surround himself with books, all in his own language, and thence forward have at least one place in the world.

  • -- Augustine Birrell 比勒尔

一个普通的人，只要有了磅数和五年的身世，就可以在平常的生活中，不慌不忙，不加任何压力地让自己的趣味受到影响，在自己的周围摆满书，而且都是用自己的语言写的，因此，他在这个世界上至少还有一个地位。
