The quotation affirms our humanity by associating personal fulfillment with learning and is connected to the Renaissance principle of humanism

"Gold, silver, jewels, purple garments, houses built of marble,
groomed estates, pious paintings, caparisoned steeds [decorated horses),
and other things of this kind offer a mutable (changeable) and superficial
pleasure; books give delight to the very marrow of one's bones. They
speak to us, consult with us, and join with us in a living and intense
intimacy." —Petrarch
