I consider a room without reading to be a hell without consolation, an instrument of torture without relief, a prison without light, a tomb without ventilation, a ditch swarming with worms, a strangling noose, the empty house of which the Gospel speaks.
- Peter of Celle
Quoted in Essential Monastic Wisdom, by Hugh Feiss
