“Some books should be tasted, some devoured but only few should be chewed and digested thouroughly”

“Some books you read. Some books you enjoy. But some books just swallow you up, heart and soul.”

“Books have led some to learning and others to madness, when they swallow more than they can digest.”

“Some people have called the book the "bible of software engineering". I would agree with that in one respect: that is, everybody quotes it, some people read it, and a few people go by it.”

“Some people read books for fun.”

“Once you have read a book you care about, some part of it is always with you.”

“In reading some books we occupy ourselves chiefly with the thoughts of the author; in perusing others, exclusively with our own.”

“Until we see each other again, keep your head together, read some good books, be useful, be happy.”

“What sense of superiority it gives one to escape reading some book which every one else is reading.”
