❝Monasterium sine libris, est sicut civitas sine opibus, castrum sine numeris, coquina sine suppellectili, mensa sine cibis, hortus sine herbis, pratum sine floribus, arbor sine foliis.❞

(I subscribe to this in the main - particularly the pointlessness of a library without books and the need for a kitchen to have appliances and utensils. I would add ❝ organum sine musicae, cerebrum sine aequitati❞.)
