Quote by Sir Peregrine Worsthorne
Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.
Summary
This quote suggests that old books, even if they are no longer relevant or useful, should not be discarded in the same way we don't abandon old friends who no longer bring us joy. It encourages us to have appreciation and respect for the past, valuing the role that these books have played in our lives, regardless of their present relevance. Just as we may keep old friends around for sentimental reasons or the memories they hold, old books can also carry sentimental value or provide a window into our personal history.
