“Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people – people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book.”

"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.”

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”

“You know you’ve read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.”

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

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
