“Paris is a veritable ocean. Take as many soundings as you like, you’ll never know the depths. Explore it and describe it with as much care as you like, but no matter how numerous the explorers of its waters, there will always remain unknown caves, flowers, pearls, monsters, something yet unheard of, left behind by the literary divers.”
–Honoré de Balzac

“We believe that books, instead of rotting behind an iron gate, far from curious eyes, are destined to wear out before the eyes of readers.”
–Jules Verne
