-Anthony Trollope Barchester Towers
I shall divide every moment between music and reading.IIhave formed my plan, and am determined to enter on a course of serious study.Our own library is too well knowto me, to be resorted to for anything beyond mere amusement.But there are many works well worth reading, at the Park; and there are others of more modern production whichI know I can borrow of Colonel Brandon. By reading only six hours a-day.I shall gain in the course of a twelvemonth a great deal of instruction which I now feel myself to want." spoken by Marianne
-Jane Austen Sense and Sensibility
