I have sometimes dreamt, at least, that when the Day of Judgement
dawns and the great conquerors and lawyers and statesmen come to receive their
rewards -their crowns, their laurels, their names carved indelibly upon imperishable marble-
the Almighty will turn to Peter and will say, not without a certain envy when He sees us coming
with our books under our arms: "Look, these need no reward. We have nothing
to give them here. They have loved reading". Virginia Wolf (1926)
