Royal Scribe (Sesh Nesw), 20th Kemetic Dynasty, c. 1500 b.c.e.
Neb-Maa-Re Nakht
“Write diligently by day; recite at night. Let your friends be the papyrus roll and the scribal palette; such work is sweeter than wine. Indeed writing, for one who knows it, is far better than all other professions, pleasanter than bread and beer, more delightful than clothes and perfumed ointments, more precious than a legacy in Kemet, than a tomb in the West.”
