“Some people read books for fun.”

“Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.”

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

“The eleven volumes of this book are to be burned after they are read. There are some people in this book who are still alive and this book may anger them, so make sure the book is burned. Tsunetomo said this repeatedly.”

“College: two hundred people reading the same book. An obvious mistake. Two hundred people can read two hundred books.”

“A book read by a thousand different people is a thousand different books.”

“If many great books seem unreadable and unintelligible … it may be because we have not for a long time learned to read by reading them. Great books teach people not only how to read them, but how to read all other books.”

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