The man who does not read
books has no advantage over the man that can not read them
Mark Twain
I cannot live without books.
Thomas Jefferson
'Tis the good reader that makes the good book; in
every book he finds passages which seem to be confidences or sides
hidden from all else and unmistakably meant for his ear; the profit
of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; the profound
thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is discovered by an
equal mind and heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Read the best books first, or you may not have a
chance to read them at all.
Henry David Thoreau
No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.
Robert Frost
To learn to read is to light a fire; every
syllable that is spelled out is a spark.
Victor Hugo
There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands
away nor any coursers like a page of prancing Poetry.
Emily Dickinson
