Every reader, if he has a strong mind, reads himself into the book, and amalgamates his thoughts with those of the author

No one ever committed suicide while reading a good book, but many have tried while trying to write one

No two persons ever read the same book

If you read a lot of books you are considered well read. But if you watch a lot of TV, you're not considered well viewed

A home without books is a body without soul

If you can read this, thank a teacher

If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry

A man practices the art of adventure when he breaks the chain of routine and renews his life through reading new books, traveling to new places, making new friends, taking up new hobbies and adopting new viewpoints

To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful, ready always to apprehend in the flow of language the sudden flash of poetry.
