“Intelligence is attractive, but so is life experience. You can’t amass it just by reading a ton of books. But you can live a lot of life in a short time. Travel. Talk to everyone. Collect adventures, and use them to understand the world. That’s how you learn to treat people well. And that’s sexy.”

“Life can seem short or life can seem long, depending on how you live it.”

“If you are going to get anywhere in life you have to read a lot of books.”

“It's up to you how you waste your time and money. I'm staying here to read: life's too short.”

“You can only learn so much by reading. You cannot learn to ride a bicycle by reading a book.”

“Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do so with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.”

“If you read a lot of books, you're considered well-read. But if you watch a lot of TV, you're not considered well-viewed.”
