Why are not more gems from our great authors scattered over the country? Great books are not in everybody's reach; and though it is better to know them thoroughly than to know them only here and there, yet it is a good work to give a little to those who have not the time nor means to get more.

  • -- Samuel Taylor Coleridge 柯勒律治

为什么我们伟大作家的作品没有更多地散布在全国各地?伟大的书不是每个人都能得到的;虽然全面地了解他们比只在这里和那里了解他们要好,但是给那些没有时间也没有办法得到更多的人一点帮助是一件好事。
