When the pleasant smell of bread baked by the baker reaches his neighbor, should his neighbor pay for it? – This book suggests that bakers, peddlers, and readers be kind and open up their hearts to one another, while cherishing the many things in our world that are given to us for free, for the benefit of all.

Three matters ease one’s mind, and they are: Voice, sight, and smell

[Talmud Bavli, Brachot 57b]
