“I suppose books mean more than people to me anyway”
“Oh, it doesn't get me. I'm pretty well cloistered, and I suppose books mean more than people to me anyway.”
“It just wasn't for me, and anyway, those people were a lot more far gone than I was. More in my father's league than mine. I just cut back a little. Less beer and liquor, more jogging. I was fine.”
“I'm very much afraid I didn't mean anything but nonsense. Still, you know, words mean more than we mean to express when we use them; so a whole book ought to mean a great deal more than the writer means. So, whatever good meanings are in the book, I'm glad to accept as the meaning of the book.”
“Of course I loved books more than people.”
“I learn more from books than from people”
