A quotation from Montesquieu

To delight in reading is to trade life’s dreary moments for moments of pure joy.
 
[Aimer à lire, c’est faire un échange des heures d’ennui que l’lon doit avoir en sa vie contre des heures délicieuses.]

Charles-Lewis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689–1755) French political philosopher
Pensées Diverses [Assorted Thoughts], # 1632 / 1143 (1720-1755) [ed. Guterman (1963)]

A quotation from Euripides

CHORUS: Visitations of love that come
   Raging and violent on a man
   Bring him neither good repute nor goodness.
   But if Aphrodite descends in gentleness
   No other goddess brings such delight.
 
[ΚΥΚΛΩΨ: ἔρωτες ὑπὲρ μὲν ἄγαν ἐλθόντες οὐκ εὐδοξίαν
   οὐδ᾽ ἀρετὰν παρέδωκαν ἀνδράσιν: εἰ δ᾽ ἅλις ἔλθοι
   Κύπρις, οὐκ ἄλλα θεὸς εὔχαρις οὕτως.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 627ff, Second Stasimon, Strophe 1 (431 BC) [tr. Vellacott (1963)]

Ross Gay is fantastic and The Book of Delights Stands up well to multiple readings. It is the kind of perfectly crafted poetic prose that can make one wonder if it was edited at all (any writer would know the answer is a thundering yes). But dear god. So good. #bookstodon #RossGay #delight
