“The love of learning, the sequestered nooks,
And all the sweet serenity of books”

“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff
and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never
fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie
awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss
your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil
lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds.
There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags
and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never
exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust,
and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look
what a lot of things there are to learn.” ―
