"Grāmatai ir divas smaržas. Ja grāmata ir jauna, tā lieliski smaržo. Bet vēl labāk tā smaržo, ja ir veca. Tā smaržo pēc Senās Ēģiptes. Grāmatai ir jāsmaržo. Tā jātur rokās un jāpielūdz. Tā jātur kabatā un jāiet ar to pastaigā. Un tā paliks ar tevi mūžīgi. Dators to nepiedāvā."
"A book has two fragrances. If it is new, it smells great. But the smell gets even better, if the book is old. Then it smells of the Ancient Egypth. A book has to smell. You have to hold it in your arms and worship it. You have to put it in your pocket and walk around with it. Then it will remain with you forever. A computer does not offer that."

"Darbs ir vienīgā atbilde. Dzīvē man ir trīs likumi. Pirmais - dari savu darāmo. Ja ar to nav gana, turi muti un iedzer džinu. Ja nekas no tā nelīdz - laidies, ko kājas nes!"
"Work is the only answer. There are three rules in life. First - do what you have to do. If it's not enough, then hold your tongue and sip some gin. If it's still not enough - get away as fast as you can!"
