“There are too many books in the world to read in a single lifetime; you have to draw the line somewhere.”
“I have read somewhere that we often spend a lifetime searching for what we already have.”
“Whenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world a door opens to allow in more light.”
“Your criticism sounds to me as if you have read too many critical books and are too smart in an artificial, destructive, and very limited way.”
“The important thing is not so much to read fast, as to read each book at the speed it deserves. It is as regrettable to spend too much time on some books as it is to read others too quickly. There are books you know well, just from flicking through them, others you only grasp at second or third reading, and others again which will last you a lifetime.”
“Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.”
