“One reads books in order to gain the privilege of living more than one life. People who don't read are trapped in a mine shaft, even if they think the sun is shining.”

“I read so I can live more than one life in more than one place.”

“A book that one has not read yet is always more exciting than a book one has memorized.”

“Take a book, the poorest one written, but read it with the passion that it is the only book you will read-ultimately you will read everything out of it, that is, as much as there was in yourself, and you could never get more out of reading, even if you read the best of books.”

“Read. Read. Read. Just don't read one type of book. Read different books by various authors so that you develop different style.”

“I think that the online world has actually brought books back. People are reading because they're reading the damn screen. That's more reading than people used to do.”

“Anyone who thinks one book has all the answers hasn't read enough books.”

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

“Collect books, even if you don't plan on reading them right away. Nothing is more important than an unread library.”

“If anyone has read a lot of books and thinks I am primitive because I have not read even one, then he should throw away those books and get one which says we are all brothers and sisters under God and we too have a right to live.”
