“Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.”

“What have you been reading, The Gospel according to St. Bastard?!”

“When you read a book as a child, it becomes a part of your identity in a way that no other reading in your whole life does.”

“What's your favorite book?
"The last one I read.”

“If you only ever read one book in your life I highly recommend… keeping your f***ing mouth shut.”

“What can we see, read, acquire, but ourselves. Take the book, my friend, and read your eyes out, you will never find there what I find.”

“If you merely read this book you will not reach the Way of strategy. Absorb the things written in this book. Do not just read, memorise or imitate, but so that you realise the principle from within your own heart study hard to absorb these things into your body.”

“Thank you for sending me a copy of your book. I'll waste no time reading it.”
