“That individual who reads useful books is no longer on the same plane of thinking as those who neglected them.”

“No story is the same to us after a lapse of time; or rather we who read it
are no longer the same interpreters.”

“Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason; they made no such demand upon those who wrote them.”

“The best books are those, which those who read them believe they themselves could have written.”

“The oldest books are still only just out to those who have not read them.”

“Men of learning are those who have read the contents of books. Thinkers, geniuses, and those who have enlightened the world and furthered the race of men, are those who have made direct use of the book of the world.”

“The clerisy are those who read for pleasure, but not for idleness; who read for pastime but not to kill time; who love books, but do not live by books.”

“Beware
Those Who
Are ALWAYS
READING
BOOKS”

“Those who don't read good books have no advantage over those who can't.”

“Books give us the ability to see things from different perspectives. They educate us, entertain us, force us to think upon certain issues. And reading a book or reading, in general, is an excuse for those who are less sociable like me for not socialising much. And guess what, it works most of the times.”
