John Cooper Powys on booksellers

Quote of the day: “Every good bookseller is a multiple personality, containing all the extremes of human feeling. He is an ascetic hermit, he is an erotic immoralist, he is a papist, he is a quaker, he is a communist, he is an anarchist, he is a savage iconoclast, he is a passionate worshipper of idols.” (John Cooper Powys’s Enjoyment of Literature)
