“We learned about life from the books they told us not to read.”
“Everyone in the world should read this book... We should read it to learn about the world and what it means to be human. ”
“Lists of books we re-read and books we can't finish tell more about us than about the relative worth of the books themselves”
“Read. Forget everything you've been told about books and read.”
“The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the old ones.”
“Read for fun, read for information, read in order to understand yourself and other people with quite different ideas. Learn about the world beyond your door. Learn to be compassionate and grow in wisdom. Books can help us in all these ways.”
