Reading is the food, light, lamp, refuge, solace of the soul, the spice of all natural flavors. It feeds the hungry, gives light to the one sitting in darkness, offers bread to the one fleeing shipwreck or war, comforts the contrite heart.
- Peter of Celle
Quoted in Essential Monastic Wisdom, by Hugh Feiss
