books on Conversation

The exiled Niccolo Machiavelli actually changed into his best clothes to enter into his nightly reading conversation with the ancients.

A book can teach you, a conversation can assure you, a poem can seduce you, a genius can inspire you, but only you can save yourself.

A book is good company. It is full of conversation without loquacity. It comes to your longing with full instruction, but pursues you never.
