“Read everything you can get your hands on.”
“Read. Everything you can get your hands on. Read until words become your friends. Them when you need to find one, they will jump into your mind, waving their hands for you to pick them. And you can select whichever you like, just like a captain choosing a stickball team.”
“Read absolutely everything you get your hands on because you'll never know where you'll get an idea from...”
“Reading is important, because if you can read, you can learn anything about everything and everything about anything.”
“Read everything you can; write everything you feel.”
“Reading gets me through everything ... or am I reading to get through everything?”
