Quote by Holbrook Jackson
The time to read is any time: no apparatus, no appointment of time

The time to read is any time: no apparatus, no appointment of time and place, is necessary. It is the only art which can be practised at any hour of the day or night, whenever the time and inclination comes, that is your time for reading; in joy or sorrow, health or illness. – Holbrook Jackson
