شراءُ الكتب كما يفعل بعضهم، ممن لا ينتفعون بها، لا لشيء إلا لأن ناشراً مرموقاً نشرها، كمن يشتري ثياباً لا تناسبه، لا لشيء إلا لأن خيّاطاً شهيراً صنعها.

“To buy books as some do who make no use of them, only because they were published by an eminent printer, is much as if a man should buy clothes that did not fit him, only because they were made by some famous tailor.”Alexander Pope — The Works of Alexander Pope: Esq. with Notes and Illustrations by Himself and Others. To which are Added, a New Life of the Author, an Estimate of His Poetical Character and Writings, and Occasional Remarks (1824)
