All that mankind has done, thought, gained, or been; it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books.

When you learn to read you will be born again...and you will never be quite so alone again.

If you would tell me the heart of a man, tell me not what he reads, but what he rereads.

No one reads; if someone does read, he doesn't understand; if he understands, he immediately forgets.

Who made you Queen of Literacy? Go sit in your car!

Some say they get lost in books, but I find myself, again and again, in the pages of a good book. Humanly speaking, there is no greater teacher, no greater therapist, no greater healer of the soul, than a well-stocked library.
