“Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books . . . ”
“Be careful about reading health books. Some fine day you'll die of a misprint.”
“He needed fresh air and sunshine. A walk in the woods and afterward a good book to read by the fire.Yeah, that was the life.”
“....a good book can teach you about the world and about yourself. You learn more than how to read better; you also learn more about life. You become wiser. Not just more knowledgeable - books that provide nothing but information can produce that result. But wiser, in the sense that you are more deeply aware of the great and enduring truths of human life.”
“Sometimes what a person expresses in their eyes is more than all the books you could read on suffering.”
“You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.”
