I also did some jail time a few years ago. Spent a whole summer in jail reading books. I pumped a ton of new knowledge and new thinking into myself.

A delight to read is a great treasure.

I enjoyed reading when I was a boy, but these days, I read all the time and it has rather taken the pleasure out of it for me. When I am at leisure, reading is the last thing I want to do.”

“That makes sense, I suppose. But for me, reading is an adventure. It makes me an armchair traveler and takes me places I shall never be able to go.

The book to read is not the one that thinks for you but the one which makes you think.

The more I read the more I fought against the assumption that literature is for the minority - of a particular education or class. Books were my birthright too.

Aristotle says that the aim of education is to make the pupil like and dislike what he ought.
