“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.”

“It is not characteristic of American executives to read books, except books on 'management' and mysteries. … Those who who do venture into this arena … are looked upon by their colleagues with mingled awe and incredulity.”

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

“Every book has a soul, the soul of the person who wrote it and the soul of those who read it and dream about it.”

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

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

“Books can truly change our lives: the lives of those who read them, the lives of those who write them. Readers and writers alike discover things they never knew about the world and about themselves.”
