“We live in an age that reads too much to be wise, and that thinks too much to be beautiful.”

“Much reading after a certain age diverts the mind from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking,”

“We think too much and feel too little.”

“In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just Being.”

“Is this a book exhausted from too much reading? Or too little reading?”

“The person who reads too much and uses his brain too little will fall into lazy habits of thinking..”

“You read too much and understand too little.”

“Magnus thought of James Herondale, burning up with too much light, too much love, too much, too much- while the boy in the portrait was as lovely as a dying poet, with the fragile beauty of a candle about to gutter out.”

“I'm too much of a coward to kill myself. And too much of a coward to live”

“It seems to me that we all look at Nature too much, and live with her too little.”
