"A book is a gift you can open again and again."

"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.

“The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest (people) of the past centuries.”

“Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.”
