He (Paul the Apostle) is inspired, yet he wants books! He has been preaching at least for 30 years, yet he wants books! He has seen the Lord, and yet he wants books! He has had a wider experience than most men, yet he wants books! He had been caught up into the third heaven, and had heard things which it is unlawful for a man to utter, yet he wants books! He had written the major part of the New Testament, yet he wants books. - C.H. Spurgeon on Paul's request to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:13.
— C.H. Spurgeon
