"The greatest university of all is the collection of books." Thomas Carlyle

now i must admit the Carlyle quote in the subject was something that i did look up and nothing that i have just read recently. i was looking for a quote to go along with the fact that i am currently sitting in the library -- the placid.. yada yada yada place (see yesterday's post) and that post came up so i decided that i would use it and then always have it as something to remember maybe even one day when i look back and am bored so i see this great, insightful quote by the scottish philosopher and i think "hmm... i should read Carlyle." and then i do and my life is changed. well, i better get working on my senior thesis atleast for a little bit since i did not do any of it yesterday and need to do some more reading with all the free time that i have here in the library.
