Read

Jerome, Letters 22.17.2 (to Eustochium; Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum, vol. 54, p. 165; tr. Charles Christopher Mierow):
Read much and learn as much as possible. Let sleep creep upon you with a book in your hand, and let the sacred page catch your head as you nod.

crebrius lege et disce quam plurima. tenenti codicem somnus obrepat et cadentem faciem pagina sancta suscipiat.
Emmanuel Benner (1836-1896), Marie-Madeleine au désert (Strasbourg, Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain, inv. no. 55.974.0.163):
