Hume

i have to read David Hume's Essays Moral, Political, and Literary for a seminar next Tuesday and so i sit at my desk poring over an online edition which my university provides me with access to. Essay 14 in Part I: Of the Rise and Progress of the Arts and Sciences:

'You will never want booksellers, while there are buyers of books; But there may frequently be readers where there are no authors.'

Good man. Good man.
