“This isn't a diet book. In fact, you may gain 30 pounds just reading it.”

“Surprising what you can dig out of books if you read long enough, isn't it?”

“The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me just as if I had gained a new friend. When I read a book over I have perused before, it resembles the meeting with an old one.”

“Read a lot. Expect something big, something exalting or deepening from a book. No book is worth reading that isn't worth re-reading.”

“Did you read the book or did you just read the words in order?”

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

““How can you read such a beautiful book and turn your back on it?”
“Never said it wasn’t a beautiful book. I just don’t believe there’s some man up there in the black who gets off on watching us pound our head on the pavement six times a day.”

“Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all.”

“When you have mastered the numbers, you will in fact no longer be reading numbers, any more than you read words when reading a book. You will be reading meanings.”

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