“In books and in life, you need to read several pages before someone's true character is revealed.”
“Open the book to page ninety-nine and read, and the quality of the whole will be revealed to you.”
“Will you lie to me and promise to read them? Books need to be read. The pages need to be turned.”
“The true felicity of a lover of books is the luxurious turning of page by page, the surrender, not meanly abject, but deliberate and cautious, with your wits about you, as you deliver yourself into the keeping of the book. This I call reading.”
“Life is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read.”
“There was a saying that a man's true character was revealed in defeat. I thought it was also revealed in victory.”
