I love to read different books on completely different subjects at the same time. I cannot focus on one. I read a few pages of literature, then I jump to philosophy and at the same time I'm reading biographies of Mahler. ↗

It is hard to rescue a man from the slough of luxury and idleness combined. If anything can do it, it is a cradle filled annually. ↗
