Samuel Johnson Quote

I never desire to converse with a man who has written more than he has read.

I never desire to converse with a man who has written more than he has read.

I never desire to converse with a man who has written more than he has read.

I never desire to converse with a man who has written more than he has read.

I never desire to converse with a man who has written more than he has read.
